We’re happy to announce that we’re working together with Jason Richardson on an upcoming lesson series. In the meantime, we wanted to share the tabs below of the main theme from Jason’s new single ‘Thought.’ You can listen to it above and pick it up on iTunes.
Jason tunes his Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Signature Model 7-String guitar to Drop-G. Low to high: G D G C F A D. This tuning can also be thought of as Drop-A, down a whole step. To properly play the main theme of ‘Thought,’ be sure to pay close attention to pick stroke directions notated in the tablature, as well as the rhythmic groupings.
As with any quick passage, start out by learning it at a very slow tempo, making sure everything sounds even and clean. Once you’re comfortable with the fingerings and picking, gradually increase the speed until you’re ready to play it at the song’s tempo of 100 bpm. Stay tuned for the upcoming lesson series with videos, audio clips, tabs, etc…
