Intro
(5/4 time)

There are 6 guitar
parts 2 of which are recorded twice i.e. at the same time. There's a
lot of confusion among players as to how to make White Room for example sound
good in a live setting.. The fact is if you follow most tabs that are out
there for it, it will never sound right. It's not the transcribers fault,
he or she is simply making it understandable to a general audience, and
transcribing it the only way possible.. I however am here to show you a
trick or two..
It's a recording trick
really. The riffing itself is done with double stops, however the double
stops or two notes played together are played as single note riffs recorded on
different tracks and then split in the speakers during mix down.. This is
done three times, twice for each pitch in the double stop... This is
tricky and can't be done live with less than 4 to 6 guitars.. Since most
bands don't have 4 or 6 guitarists it's a little rough, so I'll show you on the
video what you can do...
The tabs below are
color coded.. Each color represents a guitarist.. Technically there
are 4 guitarists needed to play what's below. Be sure to apply heavy
vibrato to EVERYTHING below....

Jeff's special Quick tab
for 1 guitar in a live setting
This is also the way this
sort of "White Room" type thing is sometimes transcribed.
*Wah throughout.. see video for added explanation of this and why it
doesn't actually work very well..

Main
riffing & song
(4/4 time)
This is a simple D, C add9 to
G/B guitar riff, that's done under all of the leads.. It's a nice
representation of the main riffing in White Room, but more importantly the
chords are very common to this era of this style...

**Wah
goes on for some parts and off for others.. But the riff is always the
same... It's tabbed once below...

Bridge
There are two guitar parts to
the bridge, both doing very "Clapton like" things... Guitar 1 is the
rhythm guitar part and is using the wah to accent and vibrato chord hits..
Guitar two is doing a wah fueled melody riff...

Guitar 1 = Black TAB. Rhythm guitar...

Solo
#1
These solos use a combination
of wha depressions, and vibrato, mixed with subtle bends.. It's
important that you don't over vibrato, or go out of time with the wah, otherwise
you'll lose the vibe a bit and end up sounding more like a space alien on the
guitar rather than Clapton like...

**ALL SOLOS are done over the
Verse chord pattern tabbed earlier.. D, C add9, G/B, C add9.
Basically, all fancy names aside it's just a "D, C, G, C" chord pattern...
Wah throughout... see video for
additional lesson and technique help..
