Have any of you ever played that song? I'm having zero results trying to find chords on that song and general structure. Sorry to put this out there, but I'm against the wall and the band wants to do that in a few weeks.

I've listened to it but have conflicting info from one guitar player and another. I'm just playing ryhthm so that's all I'm concerned with: chords. Also, it seems the solo starting at 1:55 is a bit of a mess. Any help from fellow GN'ers would be so appreciated. If you PM me I can even send you my type up of the song and MP3.

Hey corbind, here is a link to "all Night Long." Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for.

Finally got around to tabbing this. This is the rhythm guitar parts only, does not include the little riff Joe plays.

And here is the tab, you will have to figure the timing out by ear. :D

Intro

E A E A G E
e------------------------------------------------
b------------------------------------------------
g--------------------------------------2-2-0-1--- X 2
d-2-----------------2-----------------2-2-0-2---
a-2-------------/4-------2-------------0-0---2---
e-0----------------------0-------------------0---
D D U U U D

E A E A G E
e---------------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------------
g----------------2-2-1-------------2-2-0-1--- X 2
d-2--------------2-2-2-------------2-2-0-2---
a-2--------------0-0--2-------------0-0---2---
e-0-------------------0-------------------0---
D U D D U U U D

Rhythm guitar during verses

E D A D A hr
e--------------------------------------------------
b------------------3-3-2------3-3-2----------------
g------------------2-2-2------2-2-2----------------
d-2------2-2-------0-0-2------0-0-2----------------
a-2------2-2-----------0----------0--------------2-
e-0------0-0---------------------------------3^--0-
U D U D D U D D

hr= bend note half step and allow to release to original note (played twice)

Turnaround part

B B G F# E E G F# F E E A G# F# E
e--------------------------------------------------------
b---------------------------0-3-2-1-0--------------------
g---------------------------1-4-3-2-1--------------------
d-4-4-4--4-----------------------------------------------
a-2-2-2--2---2-------------------------------7--6-—4--2--
e---------------3--2----0-----------------0--5--4--2--0—-

Chord progression during solo goes:

E A E B E --->

then play very last section of turnaround (E A G# F# E) as shown directly above

play solo chords again -- E A E B E but no turnaround
at end — goes to last verse

That's all the different parts to the song.

I will post the riff Joe plays later, but it is pretty easy, just 1st position E Minor Pentatonic basically at open position.

Thanks Wes! At band practice we did that song again and the two other guitar players don't agree on what's going on and the bass player is doing his own thing. Now I'll print it out and we'll get it all sorted out. :D

It should be close. It has all the parts, you'll have to use your ear. At the end of most solos it has the A, G#, F#, E turnaround.

At the very end it has the G, F#, F, E turnaround and ends on a E6/9 chord.



e—-2r--
b—-2r--
g—-1i--
d--X---
a—-2m--
e--0---

The 6/9 chord is the same chord the Beatles ended Twist and Shout on. :D
