Feels Like the First Time (Foreigner)

		Here is my cover of this classic song with the "instantly recognizable" riffs.  
 When I say "my cover"; this is how I play it. This is in a 3-piece band,  
 so all guitar(s) parts AND keyboard parts are performed on guitar, which gives  
 you quite a workout!  
 This is not the key that this song was recorded in (Foreigner recorded it a  
 full step lower); this is how we play it in our group (we may have used this  
 key for the singer). The real beauty of this key is letting that A string ring  
 open (tabbed as 0 here) to hold this melody line.  
 To get that drone G (which is a drone A in my version), you would have to tune  
 your guitar a whole step, OR, tune your A to a G and play the Intro as such:  
 [D--------------------------------------------------------  
 A--------------------------------------------------------  
 E--/4--4--4---4-2---2---2-22-2--2--2--22---4~~~---------  
 D--/5--5--5---5-3---3---3-22-2--2--2--22---5~~~---------]  
 [G-----0-----0------0---0---------------------------------] < De-tuned to G!  
 [E--------------------------------------------------------]  
 Although the above is very close to the recording…  
 ME?, I prefer this way (tuned 440):  
 h=hammer on o=pull off =Slide down /=Slide up  
 Intro:  
 V--Bass & Drums come in here  
 [E-------------------------------------------------------  
 B------------55--5-5-53--3----3-3--3--3---3-3-3----5---  
 G------------66--6-6-64--4----2-2--2--2---2-2-2----6---  
 D------------77--7-7-75--5----4-4--4--4---4-4-4----7---

 Mute stops ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^  
 Palm mute at these points!

 E--7h9----0---------------------------------------------]  
 Mute stops ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^  
 Experiment.. double pick some of these chords!!  
 
Play around and find what fits the group you’re playing it with.  
 Verse parts:  
 [D--(2)(222)(2)(222)-------------------------------------  
 A---0--000--0--000--------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------]  
 I would climb any mountain…… Sail across the stormy sea..  
 Concentrate on the open A note, but occasionally add the ghost “E” on  
 the D string. Experiment, you’ll see what I’m saying.  
 This is the fill I use after the first line, second verse:  
 (bass plays this subtle the first verse)  
 [D-----------2---  
 A-----------0---  
 E---0-2-3-------  
 D--(2)(222)(2)(222)-------------------------------------  
 A---0--000--0--000--------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------]  
 If that’s what it takes me baby… etc…  
 [E--------------------------------------------------------  
 B--------------------------------------------------------  
 G----7~~--7-------7~~--7------9~~--9-----9~~---9---------  
 D----5~~--5-7-----5~~--5-7----7~~--7-9---7~~---7-9-------  
 A-----------5------------5-----------7-----------7----7-8  
 E--------------------------------------------------------]  
 I guess it’s the woman in you… etc…  
 Return to Intro parts for the chorus:  
 [E---------------------------------------------  
 B--55--5-5-53--3----3-3--3--3---3-3-3----5---  
 G--66--6-6-64--4----2-2--2--2---2-2-2----6---  
 D--77--7-7-75--5----4-4--4--4---4-4-4----7---  
 A--00--0-0-0-0--0----0-0--0--0---0-0-0----0---  
 E---------------------------------------------]  
 Feels like the first time, etc…  
 Now for the keyboard type parts:  
 Bass plays - G# … E … D … C#  
 [E-------------------------------------------------------  
 B--12-9-10-----------------------------10-9--------910--  
 G----------11-Play this riff 6X then ------11-10-11--11~  
 D-------------------------------------------------------  
 A-------------------------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------  
 B--12-9-10-----------------------------10-9--------910--  
 G----------11-Play this riff 6X then ------11-10-11--11~  
 D-------------------------------------------------------  
 A-------------------------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------  
 B--12-9-10-----------------------------10-9--------910--  
 G----------11-Play this riff 6X then ------11-10-11--11~  
 D-------------------------------------------------------  
 A-------------------------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------  
 B--12-9-10-----------------------------10-9--------910--  
 G----------11-Play this riff 6X then ------11-10-11--11~  
 D-------------------------------------------------------  
 A-------------------------------------------------------  
 E-------------------------------------------------------]  
 Then back to the verse part but first you play this at the end of the above:  
 D …… E…  
 Never againnnnn……..  
 [E---------------------------------------------  
 B--55--5-5-53--3----3-3--3--3---3-3-3----5---  
 G--66--6-6-64--4----2-2--2--2---2-2-2----6---  
 D--77--7-7-75--5----4-4--4--4---4-4-4----7---  
 A--00--0-0-0-0--0----0-0--0--0---0-0-0----0---  
 E---------------------------------------------]  
 Feels like the first time, etc…  
 Then there is the hammer on/pull off type lead after this chorus (above):  
 [E-------------------------------------------------------  
 B-8h0o8h0o- etc.-7h0o7h0o etc.-6h0o6h0o etc.- hold 5h0o-  
 G-------------------------------------------------------]  
 Now the above, at first, seems like the standard hammer on pull off,  
 but listen closely!! Each note is PICKED as well as ho/po!!!!  
 You may have to practice to get your coordination on this one….  
 This is pretty much it. Remember, to play with the recorded version,  
 just move down a full step.
