Careless Whisper by Seether
Hey, wassup? Seether just covered a new song, and I HAD to learn how to play it. Before
else has a tab up of the song, I have one here. It's really accurate; The only thing I'm
too sure of are the leads. I'm 99% positive they're right, but the second lead seems
off, but it's close enough.
The rhythm is REALLY easy to figure out. For the outro, just improvise, or play the lead
again until it fades out.
Well, enjoy, and rock on! :)
*UPDATE* 1/28/09- The intro lead was off- It's in the key of F, so all of the B notes
flat- This makes the lead 100% better. I feel dumb for
not catching this the first time, but oh well.
*UPDATE* 2/9/09- Just an FYI for bands trying to cover this version,
the chorus fig. is played behind both leads at all times.
*UPDATE* 6/6/09- I finally got around to changing my little addition to the
lead. Sorry for any confusion :)
