Subject: TAB: I Feel Fine (Lennon/McCartney)

Disclaimer: The "I Feel Fine" riff is very difficult to make sound exactly authentic. Although I've tabbed out the basics here, there are subtleties which I haven't or may not have reflected, such as how notes ring, the exact sloppiness with which the riff should be played, etc.

I Feel Fine (Lennon/McCartney)

The song begins with a single plucked "A" note, sounds like a bass guitar to me, which builds in feedback until the string is vibrating hard enough to cause a buzz.

The "I Feel Fine" riff (repeat as needed): D C
