Saturday by Rachael Cantu
Album: Run All Night
Ok so this song is awesome, and really simple. Its in the key of E, which is even better
because your hand basically stays in the same formation. IN this case, the only thing
that will move is your pointer to change the bass notes. You only need one guitar, she
plays it by herself all the time. The strum pattern is pretty constant, it doesn't really
change, except for some palm mutes in the pre-chorus
The placement might be a bit off, just listen to the track it's pretty clear. Also, the
whole song is in eighth notes but the quarters are accented....so basically you accent
beats 1, 2, 3, 4. so your playing 1and2and3and4, but strum openly using both up and downstrokes.
The pre chorus accents the same beats but instead of just playing harder, you palm mute
or block the 'ands' and just hit the downbeats. so you're only playing 1, 2, 3, 4 so it
would go something like this 1x2x3x4 or in the notes ExExExEx AxAxAxAx C#xC#xC#xC#x BxBxBxB
uhhhhmmm hope this helps, the other tab had some tab mistakes, and makes the rhythm a
bit easier and less intimidating for those of you starting out
