Fingerslikesausages Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi there Complete virgin, only been playing for six months or so.Trying to get to grips with a few songs, as some like minded lads are tring to put a band together. As were all into the Scooter Scene it's mostly 60's, so I know most of the tunings are out on recordings. I'm having trouble with the Birds "Leaving Here". I know, I know, it's easy as falling off the proverbial, but however many times I listen to the track I can't work out the little run at the end. I'm playing A C D D A as the main riff then A DDD as the little shuffle which repeats 3 times it's the bit after that I can't fathom I think it starts with A and then there's a 3 note run, but I'm ****** if I can work it out. If anyone knows the song, could they please help as I'm going crazy trying to sort it. Also is it as straightforward as it sounds, or does anyone have any variations for it? Thanks in advance.

From memory (of having seen them play this live) you're right so far and then I think the notes are AAGA (if we're talking about the same part of the song that is) You doing "No good without you baby" as well?

Bloodaxe Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Just heard that for the first time, I'm more familiar with the Motorhead version tbh but never learned it. Cracking proto-punk tune either way. Anyway... I reckon the lick in question goes (stop) A-G-E played from the first octave of A on the 7th fret. So in total it goes something like: A-D-DD, A-D-DD, A-D-DD, (Stop)A2-G2-E2 & repeat. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
