Anyone have the tabs for Knockin’ On Every Door and I Remember You. I searched like crazy and have found nothin’, sadly. Please help if you have any idea about them :)

I would like chords for both songs, but I’m very intersted in the guitar solo parts as tabs for KOED. No way I can figure them out myself.

I REMEMBER YOU.
Okay, my thoughts on the intro to IRU thus far. Ignore the funny sounds at the start, I think its a jewish harp, so I won’t try and put it on guitar. Here is the main riff (I think)
E-7—————7——5—-3—–
B-9—————9——5—-3—–
G-9—————9——6—-4—–
D-9—————9——7—-5—–
A-7-0h5h7——-7——7—-5—–

E—-5—–3————————–
So basically, its just chords Emajor, Amajor, Gmajor. To get the best amp sound cut out all the mid range and crank up the treble and bass. Its the metal sound. Use lots of crispy distortion. My guess is if you have a compressor pedal use that too!
I haven’t looked at the verses, but I reckon they use power chords, ie 5th chords (only two notes: route and 5th.)
Anyways, thats just a quick look. hope it helps. oam

Thats the intro riff (it has two variations as you can see) I probably screwed up somewhere and welcome corrections. You need to play this funky and aggressive. As you get better at it, vary it and add more mute strokes (marked by an X). Play it with a pick/plectrum and really ATTACK the strings.
I hope you have fun. oam

Right. The ’s’ in the TAB indicates a slide. This riff (in various forms) appears throughout the song. I actually did make a mistake with the slide to be fair. I was tired
When you place this use alternate picking, ie use a plectrum and use upstrokes and down strokes. the three notes before the slide are a triplet.
good luck, oam

hi tcooh
I think that’s usually the problem when people talk about tabs you know, tab is just an approximation of the song. Are you looking only for TABS for these songs? try different strum patterns instead
i can help you with chords for koed if you have chords then the rest is easy,man just try to improvise them its fun
