Intro Tab: Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon
Transcirption - Marc Virata <youtwo@nevada.edu>
I've seen requests for this song. I can play/fake it on piano but I've
found translating this to guitar to be difficult (as you'll see). The
following tab is for the intro. If people can figure out how to avoid
the finger stretches (alternate tunings?) let me know. If there's
interest, I'll continue tabbing the entire song as I play it on piano.
Comments are appreciated.
I've separated the tab into bass and guitar parts. "( )"'s indicate
sustained notes played separately. Rhythm is approximated by spacing, but
the timing on the bass and guitar parts are the same (bass tab numbers
directly below guitar tab numbers are played at the same time).
Guitar
E------------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-
B---0--2-----------0-----------------------0------- (no, I can't play
G-2----2-----------2-----------2-----------2------- this myself easily
D---------2-----2-----2-----2--4--------------2---- with a 2nd fret to
A---------------------------------7-----7---------- 7th fret span)
E--------------------------------------------------
Bass
G------1--------1--1--------1--1--------1--1-------
Guitar
E------------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-
B---0--2-----------0-----------2-----------0-------
G-2----2-----------2-----------4-----------2-------
D---------2-----2-----2-----2-----------------2----
A---------------------------------7-----7----------
E--------------------------------------------------
Bass
D------4--------4--4--------4--4--------4--4-------
Guitar
E------------0---------------------------------
B---0--2-----------0--------(0)----------------
G-2----2-----------2-----(1)-----2-------------
D---------2-----2-----(2)--------4-------------
A--------------------------------5--5--4--0--2-
E-----------------------------------------2--4-
Bass
D------0--------0--0-------------0--------1----
Now if someone can find a way to avoid these finger spans and possibly
combine the bass part to the guitar, then please let me know. I can use
this knowledge to continue tabbing the rest of the song. If you
play these notes on piano, it will be a lot easier and I think sounds
pretty much like the real version. Knowing the intro is the basis for
much of the song. Any insight is appreciated.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official REO SPEEDWAGON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
