Goldfinger - Vintage Queen

Transcribed by Justin Goldner,

goldentoad@hotmail.com

Standard E Tuning

Note: This song (as are many Goldfinger songs) is played with two

guitar parts, although for most of the song there is only one main

part. The second guitar is used mostly for the "solo" as a kind of

"answer" to the first. Other than that, the second guitar plays riffs

as fills. For the parts where there are two guitars I've marked each

tab "Guitar 1" or "Guitar 2".

*the above can be split with Guitar 2 playing the bottom

the strings and Guitar 1 playing instead the top notes of

basic C, D and G chords.

G---5---4---3---2--- } *Second verse
D---7---6---5---4--- }  give each string a sec

E---5---4---3---2--- }  and end with E (022xxx)

Pre-Chorus-

D---7--6--4--2--- }
A---7--6--4--2--- }
E---5--4--2--0--- }

Chorus- Second time riffs are added on Guitar 2, third time play soft

as the song quiets down (no riffs), fourth time move every-

thing up two frets for the key change from G to A. The "=="

symbolizes that the time between the two chords is equal to

the time it takes to play the riff and the tab isn't to scale.

Guitar Solo/Duet- This could feasibly be done on one guitar, minus

some backround notes, probably was recorded at two different

times. If you've got two guitars it would be an interesting

arrangement. You could have the guitar thats not playing play

the normal verse chords while the other one solos. I wrote it

out for two, it's pretty easy to combine them.

This is my favorite Goldfinger song but unfortunately it's not on any

of their albums, just the American Pie soundtrack (if you listen real

closely it's in the backround of the first party scene). Hopefully

they'll have the good taste to include it on one of their upcoming CDs.

Until then I'll have to listen to the MP3 :( Anyway, comments,

questions, corrections: goldentoad@hotmail.com

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
