Stroke 9 - Little Black Backpack
Transcribed by Justin Goldner

Standard E Tuning

Note: Even though it sounds kinda weird at first, the song's not that
hard to play. The trick is that its not all major/minor chords, its slight
variations of them. The layout is pretty straightforward:


Verse - (general chords) - G6 D C

Chorus - G Am C D

Verse

Chorus

C Part - G6m D Em

Guitar Solo

Chorus - bass only for opening

Chorus



Verse-
(before the actual singing play the following riff):


G6 Dsus2 C G6 D C

E------------3--------0--0--------------3--5--2--0-----3----------
B------------3-----3-----1--------------3-----3-----3--1----------
G------------0-----------0--------------0-----2--------0----------
D---2--4--5--2--0--------2-----2--4--5--2--------------2----------
A------------2-----------3--------------2--------------3----------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------


Each time after play this: *the last time before the
chorus add the bottom 3rd fret
note to the C chord (x32013)
G6 Dsus2 C

E------------3--------0--0----------------------------------------
B------------3-----3-----1----------------------------------------
G------------0-----------0----------------------------------------
D---2--4--5--2--0--------2----------------------------------------
A------------2-----------3----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------






Chorus- This part's easy, four basic chords. Do something like a base
note then strum, it should sound right. From "Don't wanna..."
on...


EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
320003 x02210 x32010 xx0232

G Am C D


Before the second verse play a G6 (x33022)




C Part- I'm not sure if G6m is a real chord since only E/Gb (E6) appears
on
the E scale and G/E (G6) appears on the G scale. Oh well, it
works.


EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
x22003 xx0232 022000

G6m D Em



G6m
You're .....

D Em
for .....

G6m D
Your ......

D G6m Em
Have you ......




Guitar Solo-


E---0--6--7--0--0--6--7----10--12----10-----14--15--14------------
B---------------------------------12----12-------------12---------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------


E---0--3--2------3--0-----10-----------------------------3--------
B---3--3--3--0---0-----3------3--0-0-0---------0-0-0-----0--------
G---0--0--0------0----------------------2-2-2---------2--0--------
D---2--2--2------0---------------------------------------0--------
A---2--2--2------2---------------------------------------2--------
E----------------3---------------------------------------3--------




Well that's about it. Vary the G6 to make it sound better, and listen to
the song a few times to get the timing right on the solo. You also might
want to trickle down on a number of the chords, but I'm leaving that up to
you. This is my first tab so tell me if it's any good. Have fun!
