Tommy by The Who guitar tab (text):Date: Wed, 04 Mar 1998 22:34:53 +0000 From: Jeremy Litton Subject: tommy.tab TOMMY by The Who [note from original submission:] Well, here it is. This took a long time so I hope it helps someone. I'm responsible for the content, except "Tommy's Holiday Camp" by Pete Palmer [ppalmer@mahogany.cray.com] and "Pinball Wizard" by someone named Marc Hirsh. So all mistakes in lyrics/chords/notes/ keys/typos/etc can be attributed to myself. Please send any proofs to sef@icbr.ufl.edu. I don't know how to archive (since no one wanted to tell me how) so I'll let someone else do that. I've written things for one guitar (most of the time) but like Jimmy Page, Townshend likes to layer things, horns, etc. It all sounds pretty close. But weaknesses abound, so correct as you like. I figured out everything here and something could be (probably is) wrong.

SOLO: Unfortunately, Pete plays the solo on either a guitar tuned to Eb, or the E string tuned down to Eb (or maybe ALL the guitars tuned down), so if you don't have two guitars you can either 1) play all chords up a 1/2 step or 2) don't pluck the low E string on the solo and play it in Eb.

The rapid strumming parts can be fairly improvised. The chords in the first 6 bars are strummed at a speed so that you can almost hear each individual note. A slide is indicated by a `/' for up and `\' for down. A period after a note value means dotted. The chord parts are best played with your index finger on the B string, middle on the G string (using pinky for pull-offs), and ring finger on the D string, with the thumb wrapping around and playing the low E string. Sounds hard, but gets easier with practice.
