Porterville?

[CCRFanSinceIWas7]

Can someone help with a better breakdown of the chords and riffs in Porterville than what I'm finding on the web? The ones I find are ok.. but no breakdowns of the riffs in the songs... Just little more than the basic chords. Thanks in advance... I just love that song...

Hi I can give you the tabs of the intro, It sounds similar to the record and you can make it "cool" if you put not much distorsion on the guitar.

The rhythm chords are pretty simple. E for the most part, then 1 beat each of A and open G, which is seen below:


E---x--x--x-------------------------
B---2--0--0--------------------------
G---2--0--1--------------------------
D---2--0--2-------------------------
A---0--x--2-------------------------
E---x--x--0--------------------------

D then A for the turnaround.

There's one part where the chords are a little tricky. It's at the last short solo at about 1:20 into the song. It's G-D-F-C, bar chords from what I can hear.
