As for Under the Bridge the only tricky chord that comes to mind is the very first one (and the few times it repeats during the intro) where you have to play a C shape with your middle, ring, and little finger while barring the 2nd fret. Either way it's discouraging to try learning a tune when the very first chord is a kick in the pants hahaha |
Haha, yeah that's the chord. You're right, the others aren't nearly as challenging but he did like using some unconventional jazzy shapes that messed with my head while first learning. It was a milestone for me the day I got the song down, so I made everyone listen to me play it.
As for the Pumpkins, I have both the Mellon Collie and Siamese Dream tab books... I still flub my way through the Soma solo but everything else isn't so bad and it's a ton of fun to play. I eventually got a Big Muff and the loud/soft stuff was even more fun.
