Most guitar riffs are based around single notes. There are only a few that use full chords. AC/DC have come up with plenty. But other than them, this is the only riff that comes to mind based entirely on chords.
Because it’s all chords, the riff works well on the uke. I’ve kept it in the original key of A. This means that the chord inversions are different – giving the riff a slightly different flavour on uke.
The strumming for bar three is down, up, up, down, down, up, up, down.

Alright, Woodshed, first of all I love your tabs, suckuppery? maybe, not to sure.
Second of all, before I even heard of your tabs and such I named and login ID’s and such on various different things woodshed. Coincidences can get weird sometimes..
Doc: So you’re the reason I’m always having to use Woodshed1 on sites ;)
Indeed! Hey I was wondering (if you weren’t busy) if you could do a ‘Somebody to love – Queen’ tab, it’s my girlfriends favorite song, and I want to play it for her but I can’t find anything online.
A tiny detail, but if the physical, horizontal sizes of the MP3 samples were the same length as the tabs, the tabs would be really easy to follow because the notes played would be at the same place as the notes detailed on the tab…………….
michaelc: Thanks for the suggestion but beyond my technical capabilities, I’m afraid.
Way oh! This is nice. It would also be really nice if you would do ooh la la by the faces. That would be so nice.
Big Love Baby!
My only suggestion is to change measure 3. Yours sounds okay, but I think it really should be an Esus4 (Asus2). In simpler terms, a D with 3rd fret on the E string. I personally think it sounds identical to the original. Just a suggestion.
Alex: Thanks for the suggestion.
