I Need Something Chords & Tabs
Newton Faulkner - I Need Something
When viewing the tab it kept screwing up the lyrcs and playing sync i had going, i hope
doesn't do this when i submit :/
The video, on youtube, makes how he plays quite clear and i used it often to write this tab
Notes on difficult parts:
At the end of the intro where he plays the harmonics he taps them on the upper bar of
12th fret (12th/13th), this can be done with practice and bruising of the bone in your finger.
Also the 0 on the G# is not a harmonic (at the end of the intro), he plucks this with
fretting hand, give it a go, it's pretty clear at two times during the video at the start
at the end.

Again with the lifting off harmonic
~ let the note ring, hold it or keep fret open depending on what note you are
playing
/ slide up
/ slide down
T Tap with plucking hand
Many tabs use the same sort of legend and i'm sure you can find explanations
Thanks for taking a look and I hope it was clear. PLease rate what you think and add
with corrections or all the little extras that he includes in the song.
