Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?I'm back playing guitar after 15 years off and want to final sit down and play the Means Streets intro. I know a tiny piece but would like to know it all. I can't seem to find any Power Tabs. If I can't find out here, I won't find out anywhere.
Thanks. Dave |

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?Hi Dave,
You'll find the Mean Streets powertab at this site: http://www.mikesguitarsite.co.uk That's the easy part - playing that intro riff is a whole other story. Have fun playing. [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img] |

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?Thanks, Raven. I'll check it out. I've seen one or two but don't know if they "look" right. I have an old VH video tape to pull out because he starts his solo with the intro and then improvises on it.
Regards. Dave |

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?Best thing I can suggest is to browse through a couple of them and play along to the song as well, what sounds and feels right will fill the rest in for you.

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?Cool tab! Where on the neck/strings is the left hand tap? I get the index finger on E/B at 12 and the thumb on low E at 12 but I'm not clear on the left hand.
Thanks. Dave |

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?The beginning is wrong. The transcriber got the downbeat located wrong. You'll trun into wonder bread if you learn it this way [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?I have NEVER been able to do this.
Even watching him do it, I still can't understand how the fuck he's making it sound like that, or even how he's doing it... And I'm bloody well watching him do it !!! [img]images/smilies/icon_confused.gif[/img] |

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?WE CAN'T GIVE UP BROTHERS!!! I'M SO DAMN CLOSE!!! DON'T MAKE ME WATCH VHS TAPE TO SEE HIM DO IT!
Ok, I had to get that out. I'm going to look at the tape tonight. Like I said, I know what my hands are supposed to be doing but I can't find the rhythm/pattern. I'll touch base later. Right now I know all you forum veterans are going "Uh, yeah sure you will". But have faith. This has been a "Holy Grail" of sorts for me. Dave |

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?I have a live video of Eddie doing it, but it will just make you scratch your head even more. I would post it, but it's 40MB big. The quality is pretty lame and the camera views don't help

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?I just ripped the audio from the video. It's quite different than the album. He adds a lot. He does the tapping part a lot differently here and there.

Re: Ok, Who Can Show Me The Mean Streets Intro?Eddie looks funny when he tries to walk and tap at the same time. The camera angles do suck quite a bit.
