Speechless Lyrics

I declare that the transcription is done by myself.
- more or less. I'm doing this by ear and it's just to get you all going.
There's a moderate amount of stuff going on in here. Since it's an instrumental (only)
I tried to put in some timing stuff. Follow along with the CD to get it right.
The somg is in the key of G in standard tuning. The riffs are mostly G major pentatonic
Em pentatonic) or more likely the Em blues scale (practically the same as the Em pent).
are a lot of bends and pull offs and
hammer ons (or is it pulls off and hammers on ?)
Intro chords +
G /// /// D - Em /// then tack on the following descent riff
( or play these chords instead D/ C/ Bm7/ Am7 )
You just "pass through" the D to the Em in the above progression.
Descent riff
(just pass through the Bm...play this whole progression twice...
after the second measures of D, play the following chord to lead
into the upcoming Em
d/m7/
(or use the descent riff again here)
(D dim =
(barre the 3rd fret with index and place fingers 2-3 and 4
on the indicated frets)
There's also a sliding riff on the G after the Em in the pre-chorus
This could be off, but it should be close enough.
e --12/7-------- 2 then 2 then 2 then 1-|
G --12/7---------------------------------| use 3nd finger throughout
G / D / C /// (play 3 times)
F / F# / G /// (play this quiet part Hendrix-style)
D ---10----10h12p10----11----11h13p11--12--|
A ---10h12-------------11h13---------------|
Repeat the verse / pre-chorus / chorus (with hendrix riff 2x on the second pass)
and end like the beginning of the intro but finish on the Em.
Good Luck,
Garry
