Once i spent some time jaming on my acoustic and found a good way to play this song. Mode songs make good acoustic versions - Personal Jesus is one of my favourites! The song is in Am Main riff: E|------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------| D|-----------7-------------7----------------| A|-7--7--7-7-7---7--7--7-7-7---7--7--7-7-7--| E|-5--8--5-5-5---5--8--5-5-5---5--8--5-5-5--| This Riff Is very simple. Just play the A5 on the 6th string and add the C on the 8th with your little finger. You can also play the full chord but it doesn't sound better. Chorus: E|---10-10-10-/-1-1-1-\-3-3-3-\---------------------------------| B|---10-10-10-/-1-1-1-\-3-3-3-\---------------------------------| G|---10-10-10-/-2-2-2-\-4-4-4-\---------------------------------| D|-12---------/3------\5------\10-10-10--10-------------------7-| A|-12---------/3------\5------\10-10-10--10------7--7--7--7-7-7-| E|-10---------/1------\3------\8--8--8---8----5--5--5--8--5-5-5-| This part may be the most difficult. If you're good at chords, you'll pick it quickly. trickiest part is the bridge from C5 to main riff. Notice the slides. Bridge: E|-----------------------------------2--2--2-2-2-1--1--1-1-1-----------| B|-----------------------------------2--2--2-2-2-1--1--1-1-1-----------| G|-----------------------------------3--3--3-3-3-2--2--2-2-2-----------| D|-12--12--12-12-12-10--10--10-10-10-4--4--------3--3------------------| A|-12--12--12-12-12-10--10--10-10-10-4--4--------3--3--------------7-7-| E|-10--10--10-10-10-8---8---8--8--8--2--2--------1--1--------\-8-5-5-5-| Outro: E|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------| D|-----------7--------------------------------| A|-7--7--7-7-7------7--7--7-7-----------------| E|-5--8--5-5-5------5--5--5-5-5-\-12~~~~------|
Pretty cool, good job! You haven't done the outro bit with the slides to the high notes between the riff parts though... does that make sense?
Well... The silde is from A to E on the 12th fret.
