Shooting Dirty Pool

Shooting Dirty Pool

Not my favorite tune, but some interesting guitar work. Two chord forms listed means they alternate between the suspension and the vanilla chord.

As he moves the note on the D string down by one fret for each new B chord, he often plays the open D string in between them.

B — B(b5) — Bsus4 — E—D

B — B(b5) — Bsus4 — D — A



Verse is just a B chord, sometimes with the first finger lifted to open A then back down, and these licks (the first one is very consistent; the second is a sort of suggestion based on random licks)

Pre-chorus

{Do us all a favor . . .}
Gsus4

{Everybody’s choking . . .
Asus4 — Esus2

Chorus

{Shooting dirty pool}
B — B(b5) — Bsus4 — E—D

{Spewing dirty lies}
B — B(b5) — Bsus4 — D — A

The opening returns leading into the solo, which is slide guitar over a steady B chord.

pretty sure this is played with similar tuning and chords as iou. a dropped B tuning. drop the A to a B. instead of the A chord you have listed i believe it's x.0.2.1.2.0 but remember it's also with a dropped B instead of A. so the guitar would read x, B, E, Ab, C#, E.

iou and dirty pool both have that turn around off of the B chord. x.0.0.2.3.0 then x.0.2.1.2.0. the B chord he plays is simply x.0.4.4.x.x or x.0.4.4.0.x depending on how lazy you want to play it or if you have to set yourself up for the next chord change or riff.

paul also plays the actual riff (not chord) on the chorus. the riff contains single notes not chords.

the other turn around in the song are bar chords. generally played as 3.3.x.x.x.x and 5.5.x.x.x.x however he usually leaves pinky and ring finger available to hammer on or riff the chord usually on the 6th of the chord or the octave of the chord.

i believe it's also "shoot em' off black" not "spew in glass". but who cares?

I think you're right. With the A string tuned up to B, the chords would be:


B
x.0.4.4.x.x
(sometimes I hear a minor third in there on the third fret B string)

B(d5)
x.0.3.4.x.x

Bsus4
x.0.2.4.x.x
(It's also an E/B, but whatever)

E
x.5.x.4.5.x
or
x.x.2.4.0.0 ?

D
x.3.x.2.3.x
or
x.x.0.2.3.x ?

Dsus2
x.3.2.2.3.x

A/C#
x.2.2.2.x.x

G
3.3.5.(5).x.x
3.3.5.(4).x.x
The guitar in the right channel seems to play the notes in parens

A
5.5.7.(7).x.x
5.5.7.(6).x.x
Ditto.

Esus2
0.0.9.9.0.0
0.0.9.9.7.7

F#7sus4
2.2.4.4.0.0


opening goes like this:

—4—4—4—4——2——2————————————————————
—0—2—0—2——2——2————————————————————
—0—0—0—0——3——2————————————————————

The verse is just B with a sliding lick every other time around

Chorus chords are

B - B(b5) - Bsus - E - D
B - B(b5) - Dsus2 - A/C#

With open D string in between the various B chords.


Prechorus

G - A - Esus2

Bridge before the solo (Why don't you get a haircut, sister?)

F#7sus4 - G - A - opening lick

Solo over B ending with the pre-chorus.

The very end is the opening lick again, but instead of the last two chords, just walk down the notes on the A string from 3rd fret to open.
