Tab Benoit — I Got Loaded Tab
This is the third song on Tab's album "Wetlands." It's a really easy song in E major.
solos aren't figured out just yet, but I may come back and add them later. Anyways, it's
(extremely) short, so you don't need to remember much. Just two parts, really. This is
first (as well as the intro):
e|———————————————————————|
B|———————————————————————|
G|———————————————————————|
D|————————————2——————————|
A|———————2—4————2—4—2h4——|
E|—0——/4—————————————————|
That's your verse lick, and this here is your chorus lick:
e|———————————————|———————————————————|
B|———————————————|———————————————————|
G|—6p5—6——6p5—6——|—6——6—6—6/8—8——8———|
D|—6p5—6——6p5—6——|—7——7—7—7/9—9——9———|
A|———————————————|—7——7—7—7/9—9——9———|
E|———————————————|—5——5—5—5/7—9——9———|
^^^^^^
(repeat few times)
That's it. Tab adds a bit of muting during the "6p5——6" part, which you will hear when
the song for yourself if you have a recording (which is always a good idea when you're
at TAB). The song will be very self explanatory to you when you listen to it and play
It's a very simple song and really fun to play.
A great note to add to solos, I find, before this TAB ends, is the flatted third in this
It works in a lot of blues songs in major keys, too, so you can use it outside of here.
it is is a G note, where the third in an E major scale would be G#. A great lick to use
be something like this:
e|—15—14—12—15—14—12—15—14—12——|——————————12——————12———————12————————12——|
B|—————————————————————————————|—12—12h14————12h4————12h14————12h14——————|
G|—————————————————————————————|—————————————————————————————————————————|
D|—————————————————————————————|—————————————————————————————————————————|
A|—————————————————————————————|—————————————————————————————————————————|
E|—————————————————————————————|—————————————————————————————————————————|
e|———————————12——————12———————12————————12———————————|
B|——12—12h14————12h4————12h14————12h14———————————————|
G|——————————————————————————————————————————13p11/9——|
D|———————————————————————————————————————————————————|
A|———————————————————————————————————————————————————|
E|———————————————————————————————————————————————————|
That's all one lick, but it's very simple. Good luck with the song, and thanks for
the time to read my TAB! :)
