Poor_Tom_
Led_Zeppelin
Heres_a_bit_for_you_about_Poor_Tom.__I_dont_have_the_tab
either_written_down_or_typed_in,_and_Im_too_lazy,_but_theres
not_much_to_tell_you.__The_key_is_the_tuning.__Low_to_high,
its_C-G-C-G-C-E.__So_you_end_up_tuning_your_fourth,_fifth_and
sixth_strings_down,_and_you_tune_your_second_string_up.__Leave
the_first_and_third_string_at_concert_pitch.__Once_you_do_that,
you_just_strum_the_strings_without_any_fingering,_and_youve
got_an_open-C_chord_(which_is_95%_of_the_song).__Now_heres_how
to_play_the_rest:
For_the_parts_during_the_verses_such_as_"Worked_for_thirty
years,_sharin_hopes_and_fears"_you_strum_the_open_C-chord
while_noodling_that_little_ditty_on_the_first_and_second
strings.__FYI,_here_are_two_variations_of_that_"noodle."__I
only_show_the_tab_for_the_first_and_second_strings_b/c_the
other_four_are_strummed_open.
1st:__2-0___0_3
2nd:______3___0
1st:__2-0___0_2
2nd:______3___0
The_dash_in_between_the_2_and_the_0_on_the_first_string
indicates_a_pull-off.__Does_this_make_sense?__Last_thing_to
tell_you_about_this_part--you_strum_the_third,_fourth,_fifth
and_sixth_strings_open_throughout_this_passage,_but_its_up_to
your_sense_of_which_ones_to_strum_and_when_(use_your_own
judgment).
Next_figure:__this_figure_is_played_during_the_lines_"People
think_that_you_can_hide_from_Tom,"_etc.__Basically,_this_figure
has_two_variations_from_my_"open-string"_rule_on_this_song.
First,_you_have_a_periodic_pull-off_from_the_G_to_the_E_(from
the_third_fret_to_open)_on_the_first_string.__Second,_you_have
a_descending_"bass"_type_line_from_A_to_Ab_to_G.__Now_heres
the_deal.__Technically_on_record,_I_think_the_A-Ab-G_descending
part_is_only_played_on_the_third_string,__BUT__I_find_you_get_a
much_beefier_sound_(particularly_if_youre_playing_by_yourself
(i.e._no_drums,_etc))_if_you_double_that_A-Ab-G_"bass"_figure
on_the_fifth_string_as_well.__So_you_use_your_index_and_middle
fingers_to_fret_the_fifth_and_third_strings,_respectively,_and
you_move_down_from_the_2nd_fret_to_the_1st_fret_to_open,_all
the_while_doing_periodic_pull-offs_(with_your_pinky)_on_the
first_string.__Heres_my_best_attempt_to_describe_it_on_paper.
1st_0_0_0_3-0_0_0_0|0_0_0_3-0_0_0_0|0_0_0_3-0_0_0_0|
2nd_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|?h)0*0*0*°°?3rd_2_2_2_2_2_2_2_2|1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|
4th_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|
5th_2_2_2_2_2_2_2_2|1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|
6th_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|
Lest_I_confuse_you,_Ive_only_showed_the_first_three_(out_of
four)_measures_b/c_the_fourth_measure_is_all_open_strummed.
Again,_I_used_a_dash_to_indicate_a_pull-off.__Lastly,_those_are
all_eighth_note_strumming_patterns--each_column_has_an_equal
time_value.
Finally,_heres_the_third_figure_you_have_to_learn.__This
figure_has_no_vocals_to_it.__The_only_way_to_describe_it_is_you
play_it_after_youve_played_the_last_figure_twice.__The_lyric
"What_about_that_grandson(?)_on_your_knee"_is_the_only_lyric
ever_sung_over_this_figure.__Heres_how_it_is_played:
1st_____0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_._0_0_....
2nd_____3_3_3_3_3_3|3_3_3_3_3_3_3_3|4_._0_0_....
3rd_2_._2_2_2_2_2_2|2_2_2_2_2_2/4_4|5_._0_0_....
4th_0_._0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_._0_0_....
5th_2_._2_2_2_2_2_2|2_2_2_2_2_2/4_4|5_._0_0_....
6th_0_._0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_._0_0_....
Again,_Ive_given_you_only_two_and_a_half_(out_of_four)
measures_this_time_because_the_rest_are_strummed_open.__As
before,_each_column_is_equal_in_time.__I_have_used_periods_to
indicate_places_where_the_string_should_be_left_to_ring_(except
for_the_four_periods_at_the_end_of_each_line,_which_are_meant
as_ellipses,_to_indicate_continuation_of_the_open_strumming).
The_strumming_is_again_eighth-note_strumming,_the_regular_ol
down-up_variety.__Lastly,_heres_the_way_to_play_this_figure.
For_the_first_0-2-0-2-3-0_chord,_finger_the_2,_2_and_3_with
your_middle,_fourth_and_pinky_fingers_so_that_when_it_comes
time_to_make_the_quick_slide_to_the_0-4-0-4-3-0_chord,_your
middle_and_fourth_fingers_slide_up,_and_your_index_finger_is
used_to_fret_the_3_on_the_second_string.__Make_sense?__I_hope
so.__Oh,_and_of_course,_you_also_slide_from_the_0-4-0-4-3-0
chord_to_the_0-5-0-5-4-0_chord.__(If_you_havent_noticed_by
now,_the_"/"_signs_are_for_upward_slides).
As_for_the_rhythm_figure_that_goes_on_under_the_harp_solo,_I
seem_to_recall_that_it_follows_the_open-chord_rule.__The
problem_with_this_is,_if_you_dont_have_a_harp,_etc.,_it_sounds
boring_if_you_just_play_open_the_whole_time.__Heres_my
solution.__The_sixth_and_fourth_strings_are_tuned_in_octaves,
as_are_the_fifth_and_third_strings.__You_can_get_nice_easy_bass
figures_by_doubling_those_strings_with_each_other,_and_playing
blues_rip-off_lines_such_as:
1st_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_....
2nd_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_....
3rd_3_3_X_2_X_3_X_X|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_....?h)0*0*0*°°?4th_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|3_3_X_2_X_3_X_X|0_....
5th_3_3_X_2_X_3_X_X|0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|0_....
6th_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0|3_3_X_2_X_3_X_X|0_....
Here,_the_Xs_indicate_muted_strings,_and_the_columns_are_again
of_equal_time_value.__Of_course_Ive_given_you_only_two-plus
(out_of_four_measures);_the_rest_should_be_open-strummed_(you
can_throw_in_some_12th,_7th_and_5th_fret_harmonics_on_all_of
the_strings_at_once_to_help_you_punctuate_the_open_strumming
parts_during_the_harp_solo.__Lastly:_(Whew!)__Play_the_ending
chord_so_that_you_get_octaves_of_C.__Play_it_(low_to_high):
0-5-0-5-0-0
Well,_I_hope_this_helps_you_out.__In_fact,_Im_so_satisfied_of
its_completeness_that_maybe_Ill_post_it_someday.__Well,_before
I_go,_Ill_let_you_know_that_Bron-Yr-Aur_(the_instrumental_from
Physical_Graffiti)_was_recorded_using_the_same_C-G-C-G-C-E
tuning.__Pretty_cool,_eh?__I_think_Friends_from_III_was_also
recorded_in_this_tuning.
Well,_I_gotta_go.__Enjoy!
