Feels Like the First Time (Foreigner)

от admin
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

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---

---0-2-3-------

--(2)(222)(2)(222)-------------------------------------

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---

--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

-------------------------------------------------------

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.
