2000 Miles
The Pretenders
(1983)
(This whole song should be played on a Rickenbacker 12-string or per
"The Isle of View" on an acoustic 12-string! -- LM)
The intro lick, that also continues through most of the song,
goes like this:
e|---------2-3-|-0-------2-3-|
b|-3-----------|---3---------|
G|---0---------|-----2-------|
D|-----0-------|-------------|
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|
Try this instead -- let the bass notes ring. Note that the timing is
triplets:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/pretenders/2000_miles_tab.html ]
t t t t t t t t t t t t
e|--------2-3-0-------2-3-|
4 b|3-------------3---------|
- G|--0-------------0-------|
4 D|----0-------------------|
A|------------3-----0-----|
E|3-----3-----------------|
Then right before the first verse:
e|-------------|
b|-3p1-0-------|
G|-------2-0---|
D|-----------4-|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|
VERSE 1
VERSE 2
(The lick at through this next part goes something like this:)
e|-----3-------|-------------|
b|---3---------|-----1-----3-|
G|-0-----------|---0-----2---|
D|---------4-0-|-2-----4-----|
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|
