How to Play Devin Townsend's Ih-Ah

This is my first How To Play.

This is Devin Townsend's "Ih-Ah" off the "Addicted" album. its a fairly easy song to play. The tuning is CGCGCE.

Please feel free to leave comments but as always no need to be mean.


the intro/piano/outtro part is:

C|----------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------
C|-----------------5------5-------4-------4--------------------------------
G|-2------2----------------------------------------0----------0------------
C|---0--0--0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0--2--0---0--2--0--
E|-----0-----0-------0-------0-------0------0-----------------------------


Verse/Chorus:


C|--9-x-x--9-x-x--9-x-x---------------------------------------------------------­--7-x-x--7-x-x--7-x-x
G|--9-x-x--9-x-x--9-x-x---------------------------------------------------------­--7-x-x--7-x-x--7-x-x

Every now and then you will hear a up slide, The lines sung are:
"I remember now"
during one of the "Ih-Ah" sections
And in the chorus

The section where Devin sings
"I'm so in love with you
How could I
Ever be untrue
Am I with you
With everything I do
God I love"

I have since revised the tab. I have yet to update it. But it's still in the right key. Think of it as an alternative way to play it.

I will eventually get round to updating the video and tabs.

[gourangaman]

@Smittybang. Already have.

It's very easy to play. Helped by the tuning. As always. Positive feedback is always welcome. Thank you.

[gourangaman]

@Slammetal cheers man.

[Tordah26]

Your tabs are fucked, man. You put them up too high.

[smittybang]
