  Subject: TAB: Robert Plant - 'Great Spirit'

  

  No one requested this, but I like it and for once I don't have

  deadlines or exams hanging over my head, so here you go.

  

  Robert Plant - Great Spirit

  From Fate of Nations

  

  Intro

  E-|-----------------------------|

  B-|-----------------------------| Play this a few times, varying

  G-|--5h7--7x--7x--7x--x-x-x-x---| the pattern that you mute the 

  D-|-----------------------------| strings to sound as funky as 

  A-|-----------------------------| possible, and then:

  D-|-(0)-------------------------|

  

  E-|-----------------------------|

  B-|---------------6--8--6vvv----|

  G-|--5h7--7x--7x----------------| Then go right back into the

  D-|-----------------------------| intro, after a few more times,

  A-|-----------------------------| play:

  D-|-----------------------------|

  

  E-|---------------7b8rb7----(5)---|

  B-|-----------------------8-(6)---|

  G-|--5h7--7x--7x-------------7----|

  D-|-------------------------------|

  A-|-------------------------------|

  D-|-------------------------------|

  

  As a little aside here, most of the song is centered around two

  chords, Dm and G.  These are the chords you sometimes here being

  played over these intro parts.  If you ever get lost, revert to

  either using them or playing along with the bass.  My suggestions

  for these are:

      Dm     G      Bass Part

  E-|--5--|------|--------------------------------------|

  B-|--6--|--12--|--------------------------------------|

  G-|--7--|--12--|--------------------------------------|

  D-|--7--|--12--|---------------------5--0-------------| 

  A-|--5--|--10--|----5--0------------------------------|

  D-|-----|------|----------0--0-0-0---------5--5-5-5---|

  

  One of those should get you back on track.

  

  Figures 1 and 2 shown below appear again and again throughout

  the song, listen for where they fit in.  And most of the leads (and

  my attempt at the solo) is based on a Dm pentatonic scale.  If you

  need ideas for the leads, look at the solo.

  E-|--------------------------|--------------------------------------------|

  A-|----------------------3---|--------------------------------------------|

  D-|--------------------------|--------------------------------------------|

  

  Solo (I'll try to break it into phrases, if I indent a line, it means

        that the new line is still a continuation of the last phrase.  )

  

    <--- Repeat 7 times ---->

  E-|------------------------|---------------------|

  B-|-20b22----20b22----20b22----20b22----------20b22----22rb20---18h20p18b--|

  G-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

  D-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

  A-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

  D-|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

  

                 E-|---------------------------------------------|

  Note: this     B-|---------------------------------------------|

  line is still  G-|---------------------------------------------|

  a part of the  D-|-12p10---------------------------------------|

  last phrase:   A-|-------12p10s8---0--3p0--5p0--8--5vvvssss0---|

                 D-|---------------------------------------------|

  

  

    Wait a bit, and then

  E-|-----------------------------------------------|

  B-|-----------------------------------------------|

  G-|-----------------------------------------------|

  D-|-----------------------------------------------|

  A-|--3sss5sss3sss5sss8sss5sss10sss8sss5vvvvssss0--|

  D-|-----------------------------------------------|

  

  Then go back to playing whatever leads come to mind.

  

  

  BTW, this is also a bribe.  I'm looking for 'Come Into My Life'

  and 'The Greatest Gift' from the same album.  Anyone know them?  Anyone

  willing to (or have time to) work on them?  (if you email me, I can send

  you a very small start to Come Into My Life).

  

  Also, does anyone know anything else that Kevin Scott MacMichael (the

  guitarist on this album) has worked on?  I'm not even asking for TAB here,

  just names of albums, etc.  I have no idea where to even start looking

  for any of his stuff.  Might have been a studio musician before working

  with Plant on this one, which would make it difficult.

  

  In any event, I hope you like this tab.

  

  As always-questions, comments, additions, and corrections are welcome.
