 AMERICAN WOMAN
The Guess Who

from the album ?American Woman? (1970)


transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)


This is the correct way to play the acoustic intro to American Woman.
The open-G tuning allows the open 4th and 5th strings to be played with
your thumb while you fret the other notes, giving the intro its droning,
bluesy sound. Use your 2nd and 3rd fingers to fret the notes on the 2nd
and 3rd strings, while using your first finger to reach over and do the
hammer-ons on the 4th string. Remember to keep a constant steady pattern
going with your thumb on the 4th and 5th strings.


TUNING: Open-G (low to high: DGDGBD)


Opening harmonic:

Guess Who — American Woman

 Title:  American Woman
Artist: The Guess Who
Album:	The Greatest of the Guess Who
Transcribed by Don Shanty Jr.

This was transcribed with one guitar in mind.  But two guitars could be 
easily used since all of the parts of the song are included here.  If you
know the song, you should be able to figure it out, (I hope!).  Hope this is
of use to you.Begining of the Intro:  The first chord sounds like a harmonic, the best I 
can do is form the chord with the left hand, then tap the same shape one 
octave higher, directly on the frets.  There's got to be a better way!
