Hey folks,

I can play this song through but can't get the intro down! Does anyone happen to know it?

Many thanks :D

It's an odd one... I guess the hard part is finding the downbeat before the rhythm section comes in, the rest is just four notes picked fast.

It's really hard to pick up by ear and no tabs are giving away the secret!
Thanks for the help - will crack on :)

Dig um...........but I can only learn by ear and am no good at musical explanations . just keep listening and You will get it.
Is Old Familiar Steam NOT one of the greatest train songs ever?

Can you tell me where on the fret board it is played?

It's a cracking song! They are so varied in what they play, even song to song on an album! Just love how diverse they are :)

It's been awhile since I noodled around with that one, but if memory serves, I started with the open D, and went from there. I really love that record.
