Johnny Kick a Hole in the Sky, correct tabs?

[Tupac]

So far I've yet to see correct tabs. Even David Sin's version is very wrong. I tried to slow it down, and the main riff sounds like this:


--------------------
---------0---------0
--------------------
-0---3h----0--3h----


And so on. I think that's it, but it's very awkward. Can someone confirm this?

Do you mean the Chili Peppers song? If so, that looks more like the chorus than the main riff.

Nope, that's the verse. Flea plays everything very muted which makes it sound very tight. I also think he may pop the 5th fret on the A string.

I think he's got a little descending chromatic thing going on there:


G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
E|5p0-4p0-3p0-2p0-5p0-0-4---0-3p0-|

That's just the intro and a small part of the verses, I mean the OTHER part. That's impossible to make out without slowing it down. The parts which Anthony raps over. Your transcription is correct though.

Oh, I gotcha... I think you've got it right, though it sounds to me like he's reversing the E and G sometimes, like this:

G|------------------------|
D|----0-----0-----0-----0-|
A|------------------------|
E|0h3---0h3---3p0---3p0---|

I started to revisit this, and I got it! He actually doesn't reverse the E and G, it's the same thing each time. He uses pauses and variations to stop it from sounding so repetitive.
