Lovecats by ear

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, long time no post, been busy at college.
Well it's come to ol' time off and I tryed learning parts of lovecats, I didn't know whether to Tab it out on here or write the notes, I found it easier to Tab, sorry if it's an eye sore. I would really appreciate it if people would tell me where i'm going wrong in the song, not tell me the correct notes, it's all part of me training my ear.

Once the tabs right i'll start writing the real notation, it's not the right number of riffs I don't think but i'm confident the main riff and the Verse are right, and parts of the fill.

Thanks.
Cliff (again sorry if this is the wrong place to post, didn't see a forum for own tabbing etc so I appoligise if it's me just being a fool)

You're pretty close, but you confused me loads by tabbing it out

E
A
D
G

Usually it's the other way round. Here's a link to [url="http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/cure/lovecats_ver3_btab.htm"]a spot on tab[/url]. You can check yours against it to see where you went wrong.

Cheers man, the reason I tabbed it out like that was because I wasn't using the other string but next time i'll just leave them blank, i'm glad most of that song was right, it's been like the 2nd song i've learnt by ear.
Damn, I don't feel like cheating and looking at the tab but I will I guess :)
Thanks.

He means because you've done it upside down by the looks of it, you've got:

E|----
A|----

when accepted tab form is E (or B, or F#) is lowest, ala:

G|-----------------------------
D|---55--5-5--5-55-5--------
A|---------------------3-1-3-1
E|-33--3-3-33-33-3----------

(It isn't lovecats, but 5 points and an e-cookie to anyone who can name song for theriff)

I have played Lovecats and I think you are fairly close but not quite there. Can't remember without a bass to hand but the chorus has a couple of different notes that it slides up to for starters and the main riff I think you have done is only half right (the first half).

I thought the main riff was...

Main riff

E—5-------------------5--3
A--------7—5—3---------

E—1-----------------3-----
A--------5—3—2-2-------- X2 no lyrics X4 with lyrics

Or similar....let me know what you think as it could be me thats wrong !
