Direct answer — Play the song using a Bm-based riff (intro/verse riff), an E5 for the lift, and the same Bm rhythm through the verses; the lead/solo uses simple bluesy fills over those chords.

Quick step-by-step guide

Tuning and capo

  • Standard tuning (E A D G B E).

Main chords (simple)

  • Bm (barre at 2nd fret) — this is the song’s home chord.
  • E5 (power chord, root on A7 with fretting on A7–D9) — used as the contrasting chord.
  • Occasionally A shapes appear in rhythm/transition.

Intro / verse riff (how to play)

  • The recognizable riff sits over the Bm sound: play a Bm barre (2nd fret) and punctuate with single-note accents on the A and D strings, sliding and letting open notes ring as in the recording.
  • Strum the Bm barre with a choppy, percussive rhythm (muted strokes between hits) to match the recorded groove.

Rhythm approach (tips)

  • Keep the index finger down for the barre while you lift and add other fingers for melodic hits; this lets you alternate between a full barre sound and higher ringing notes.
  • “Whack” the chord on downstrokes for emphasis, then let strings ring on off-beats for the syncopation.

Lead / fills

  • Leads are bluesy single-note licks and slides around the 7th–9th frets and small bends; play simple pentatonic licks that follow the Bm tonality.
  • Solos are not complicated — focus on taste and feel rather than speed.

Short practice routine (numbered)

  1. Learn the Bm barre and switch between Bm and E5 slowly.
  1. Practice the verse riff slowly, keeping the barre steady and adding the higher-note accents.
  1. Add the percussive downstrokes and palm-muting to match the groove.
  1. Work simple pentatonic licks in Bm for the solo sections; play along with the recording to lock feel.

Helpful resources

  • Full video lessons break the parts down (intro/verse/solo) and show fingerings and timing.
  • Tabs and printable chord sheets are available if you want exact fretting positions and notation.

Mini example (what to aim for)

  • Start: Play Bm barre on beat 1, mute/accent beat 2, add a single-note slide on the A/D strings on beat 3, then an open B or high D ring on beat 4 — repeat and match the groove.

If you want, I can:

  • Provide a simple tablature of the intro riff and verse (HTML table).
  • Create a slow-play backing track (60–80% tempo) so you can practice along.
