Song

Title: Just What the Doctor Ordered

Artist: Ted Nugent

Transcribed by: Jonathon R. (scipio7@hotmail.com)

This song is very simple, with only one main riff,

and twelve bar blues progression. Downstroke on the first note

of the riff, upstroke on the second, and make sure to alternate every

one after that (of course, but it makes a big difference in this song).

Also the \"very quick hammer-ons\" are optional, but I think they

make it sound a LOT better and more like the real song.

B

E----------------------------------| This is the main riff, used

B----------------------------------| through most of the song.

G----------------------------------| Have your index finger barre

D--9---7-----------------7---------|      the 7th fret.
A----------7h9---7---7h9-----------|
E-7---7---7-----7---7--------------|

^^^

Very quick hammer

E

E--------------------------| Then it shifts up to the key

B--------------------------|          of E...
G--9---7-----------------7-|
D----------7h9---7---7h9---|
A-7---7---7-----7---7------|
E--------------------------|

Very quick hammer

F#

E--------------------------------------| Now down to F sharp (Barre

B--------------------------------------| the 2nd fret)

G--------------------------------------| Play a quick E5 after doing

D--4---2-----------------2-------------|       this riff once, then go
A----------2h4---2---2h4---------------|       back to the key of B.
E-2---2---2-----2---2------------------|

^^^

Very quick hammer

There are a few variations to the basic riff. Right before the solo,

when the rhythym guitar plays alone, you hear this:

E----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G----------------------------|
D--9---7------------------7--|
A----------7h9---7---7779----|
E-7---7---7---7---7----------|

^^^

Very quick hammer

Lastly, during the outro solo, you hear this variation:

E--------------------------------|
B--------------------------------|
G--------------------------------|
D--9---7-------------------------|
A----------7h9---7--12-11-10-----|
E-7---7---7---7-----10-9--8------|

Very quick hammer

Sorry, I don\'t have solos...
