Help: Solo in Video Killed The Radio Star

[justinchannell]

Hey,

I want to cover the Presidents of the United States of America cover of Video Killed The Radio Star, but I can't find a tab with the right solo. I'm not getting far in tabbing it myself either, so if anyone knows it, please post it.

Here's what I got so far in my attempt:

E------------
B------------
G-----3-2----
D---2-----4--
A-2----------
D------------

I figured it all out but I dont know tab.

 

[justinchannell]

It's really easy, you just put the fret number on the corresponding string line...

 

[dragonworks]

how about bends and trills, and glides etc,
figuring it out is pretty easy also, just listen and keep at it.
Sing it and copy what you sing

 

[Roktuk]

Yeah, you can't trust tab anyway.
Can't be that tricky, and figuring out songs is a good skill to have.

 

[dragonworks]

copy the melody that is sung and go from there

i thought TPotUSA used a> less strings than normal b> odd tunings, if that helps any

When you're done, can I cover your cover of the Presidents of the United States of America cover of Video Killed The Radio Star?

Here ya go

E is tuned to D Flat, tune the rest of your guitar accordingly.

It's a bit hard to read, I don't have a scanner. You may want to write it out again, in that case.

The numbers are:

4 7 6 4 7 7 6 7 4 7 0
4 7 6 4 7 7 6 7 6 7
6 7 6 0 4 7 6 4 7 7


The unlegible numbers are mistakes that I blotted out. There are a few slides and hammerons if you can make them out in this dismal webcam.

I don't like this version of the song, grabbed it on Kazza as I was curious what the solo would be.

Have Fun.

The rest

6 7 4 7 0 2 2 4 6
