20th Century Boy - T. Rex

[Glasbrow]

You helped to make the song more comfortable for me to play by going to the F# instead of the G for the pull off! Thanks. I`m deep into T-Rex mode this last week!

[TheJodilena]

GOOD SHIT MAN!!!!

[alexzin1]

Tabs please bro!

Really cool.

[privettricker]

@alexzin1 Sorry, I don't use tabs, I just play by ear.

[OlBluesMan90]

@alexzin1 just watch his hands

[DAVWAVE]

OK, how would you describe Marc Bolan's overall guitar playing ability? You cover a lot of people.

[privettricker]

@DAVWAVE He had his own style, let's put it that way.

[DAVWAVE]

It is said Tony Visconti was always trying to get Marc to tune his guitar, and he would tune it behind his back.

Lifes a gas?

[PHOENIX991000]

very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[ooohcheese]

Nicley done man!

Cheesy.

[hearditman]

Very nice Mr Fudd.

[perkiset]

Interesting.. All the videos and tabs I've seen fret the G during the main riff. This is the first one I've seen that frets the F# and bends the note up to G. I'll have to listen to the T. Rex version again!

[privettricker]

@perkiset Probably doesn't make too much difference, but I first tried it at the 3rd fret and I ended up over-bending it, right out of tune. So I went with the 2nd fret instead.

[ooohcheese]

@privettricker

It makes a hell of a difference, it's the way Marc plaved it live.

Peace out .

Cheesy.

Yeah, I swear you're my older brother, Steve! He plays like you.

And the Elmer J. Fudd quote is awesome. Thought nobody else remembered that!

Good stuff, man.

Thanks for playing for us.

No, my name's not Steve.

[grb321]

nice job!

[sk8er4life36912]

can you post tabs

[privettricker]

Sorry, I don't read or write tabs.

But if it helps, this is just E, A7 and B7.

[Promoagent]

@privettricker try using barr chords its easier and sounds more fuller too

[privettricker]

@Promoagent I'm sure it sounds fine, but Marc Bolan couldn't play a barre chord to save his life.

[Promoagent]

@privettricker he plays an A barr chord in the live version of Jeepster in the Born to Boogie DVD the live performance is from Wembley Arena 72 worth checking out if you havent seen it yet. Happy Rexmas

[privettricker]

@Promoagent I stand corrected. He played one barre chord. Didn't play it well, but he played one.

[drsyn67]

THAT is inspiring! Thanks!
