Ok, I´ve never tabbed anything in my life, so this is a first. I tabbed the main riff, which is what this tune started with. (I can´t seem to get the rythm the way it should be, so you will have to do that yourself)
In my youth i loved Deep Purple, and I still love the way Richie Blackmore play, and some of the more memorable riffs (smoke on the water anyone?) So, I´ve been exploring the "Richie Blackmore riffspace", so to speak, to see if I can find my own things in there.
The main riff is really just the following chords: E5, F#5, A5 and B5. These are the very chords of for example "space trucking" (if I move them to F#minor), or (very nearly) "man on the silver mountain" or, "smoke on the water" (F#5, A5, B5 etc.). I´m really fascinated with how simple these combinations of chords are, and how cool they still are.
I also did a quick recording of these three, to demonstrate it.
