PLAYING INFORMATION...

[1st Verse to Chorus]...

Intro

[Verse] 2x (w/ Guitar Solo)

[Verse (vox begin)

Pre-Chorus

[Chorus] (2x)

2nd Verse starts with Verse and follows a similar pattern

Nearly Lost You consists of only a few main chord progressions.

It's a fairly simple song to play. All that's necessary is the

basic distortion for the majority of the song and even the solo

can be played without any effects. The toughest part is the

chord switching in the Intro. This is how I play it...

First Finger, 3rd Fret Low E

Second Finger, 4th Fret G

Third Finger, 5th Fret A

Fourth Finger, 5th Fret D

I barre the G string with my pinky (4th finger) when the chord

jumps.

Also, without knowing the song well, it'll be hard to totally

organize this song. If you don't have the album, buy it. It's

honestly one of the best albums ever made. There are also

quick fills between chord switches during the Verse that I

haven't tabbed... they're just quick hammers and pull offs.

The Solo Riff is the base for the solos that appear throughout

the song, whether it's during the verse riff or the solo itself.

During the solo, the rhythm guitar plays the verse riff.
