Kicked It In The Sun Tab

*Part 1*
 
[Intro]
 
Each chord in the main progression lasts for 4 beats, except for the Fmaj7 which gets cut
off by the "transition" riff/motif (whatever you want to call it).
 
 1 & 2 & 3   & 4 & 1...                                   ...1 & 2 & 3   & 4

    (Pickup)      Cmaj   Am    Dm    Fm   Gmaj  Em    Dm   Fmaj7
 
In the intro (so prior to any vocals; in the verse he goes to the normal progression), Doug plays these chords
but barred, and with m7s mixed in. He also mainly arpeggiates them outside of the original strum of each
chord. It looks like this:
                                                 ...1 & 2 & 3   & 4

A|-10----7-----5-----12\8-----10-----12\7-----5-----x---------------|
E|-8-----5-----x-----x--x-----x------x--x-----x-----x---------------|
  Cmaj   Am   Dm7   Am7\Fm7  Gmaj   Am7\Em7  Dm7  Fmaj7
 
Unlike other slides in this song, the chords are strummed here after sliding down from Am7.
 
[Verse 1]
 
This progression lasts the whole verse. The first time it's played with lyrics, the chords are strummed
once on the downbeat while using the tremolo bar while they're ringing. The subsequent two repeats are
arpeggiated similarly to the intro, but with the normal, non-barre chords this time and the final repeat
is similar to the first, just without tremolo and quieter.
 
                                          ...1 & 2 & 3   & 4

  Cmaj   Am    Dm    Fm   Gmaj  Em    Dm   Fmaj7
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
(Guitar I)
 
This marks the first major progression change. It looks like this (the chords are arpeggiated):
 
   1...1 & 2 & 3   & 4 & 1...1 & 2 & 3   & 4
e|-0---------------------0---3--------------|
B|-1-------3---3/5---0---1---3---3---3/5---0|
G|-2-------0---0-0---0---0---0---0---0-0---0|
D|-3-------3---3/5---0---2---0---3---3/5---0|x4
A|-x---------------------3---2--------------|
E|-x---------------------x---3--------------|
  Fmaj7                Cmaj Gmaj
 
(Also, he frets the 1 on the high e turning the Fmaj7 into an Fmaj at some point in the middle.)
 
(Guitar II)
 
The lead tremolo-type part looks like this (played with lots of reverb/delay on 1/4):
 
   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &...
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-----------5-------------------5-----------------------7-------|
D|-x-----------x-----------5-------x-----------5-----------x-------|x4
A|-7-----------3-----------x-------3-----------x-----------5-------|
E|-x-----------x-----------3-------x-----------3-----------x-------|
 
(Not sure if it's played with octaves originally, but the tone is very thick and it seems to help match the
original sound.)
 
[Chorus]
 
(Guitar I)
 
A very similar progression to the verse, but with some variations; mainly each chord is played twice
as long, so instead of one chord per measure, it's one chord per two measures (with exception to the Fmaj
halfway through that's repeated twice, making it 4).

  Cmaj   Am    Dm   Fmaj       Gmaj   Dm   Fmaj7
 
(Guitar II)
 
The solo that starts on the second repeat of the progression:
 
   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4...

                       (Transition into Bridge)
 
[Bridge]
 
(Guitar I)
 
This is the most difficult part to transcribe properly; this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa8ueEcFxY4 )
tutorial by "Siddthekid" on YouTube seems to be accurate, but based on finger positions seen in this live
performance by Doug ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCZU_hX-hMU ) it's only slightly wrong.
 
    1...  1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1...    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1... 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 ... 4 ... 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3...

(Guitar II)
 
Comes in on second repeat of progression:
 
   1...3 & 4 & 1 & 2...1 & 2 & 3...2 & 3 &   4  &  1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4...

A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
This is for the first repeat; the next 2 repeats follow the vocal melody which is very similar, so it's
not that difficult to figure out the differences.
 
*Part 2*
 
[Bridge II]
 
There is a lot of stuff going on in this section that isn't very concrete. There's a slide guitar and a
"twinkly" reverbed & delayed guitar adding texture in the high end, so it's really up to interpretation
what to do here.
 
Also, although it's barely audible in the studio recording, Doug plays the main chords to this part of the
song during this section in live performances, so I'll put them here as well:
 
   1...  4...  1...  4...
e|-x-----x-----x-----x---|
B|-2-----2-----2-----3---|
G|-2-----2-----2-----2---|
D|-0-----2-----0-----0---|

G|------------------------------------------------|
D|-11\9--11\9--11\9--7/----11\9--11\9--14\---11\9-|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|
 
You can mimic the slide by using a tremolo bar for the 11\9 slides as a workaround.
 
(Guitar II)
 
Just arpeggiate some variation of this with a lot of reverb and delay:
 
   1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a ...
e|---------17------------------14--------------------------14-----|

D|-2-----------5-----3---|x2

E|-x-----------x-----x---|
  Cmaj        Gmaj  Fmaj
 
During acoustic solo sets Doug plays the A/E strings for the G & Fmaj chords here, but the studio/live band
version is played without them as seen above.
 
(Guitar II)

E|-x-x-----x-------x--------5/--5---5/---5--5-|-2-|
 
[Pre-Chorus] / [Chorus]
 
The Pre-Chorus and Chorus are essentially the same; the only difference is the layering of guitars, as the
Chorus has a louder guitar layered playing single downstrums on the downbeat of each chord change. To mark the
difference just change the intensity of strumming/acccents on the strumminng pattern (in the chorus it's an
even eigth-note feel, for example).

Slightly different solo this time, with less high notes:
 
   1...1...1...4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1...
e|-------------------------------|---|
B|-------------------------------|---|
G|-7/9---------------------------|---|

A|-5/7---------x---x---x----x--x-|-x-|
E|-x-x---------5/--5---5/---5--5-|-2-|
 
[Pre-Chorus] / [Chorus]
 
This time around there's another high "twinkly" texture using a ton of reverb/delay, similar to the one shown
previously (not going to write out here because it's very insignificant).
 
(Guitar I)
 
   1...  4...  1...  4...
e|-x-----x-----x-----x---|
B|-2-----2-----2-----3---|
G|-2-----2-----2-----2---|
D|-0-----2-----0-----0---|x12
A|-x-----0-----2-----x---|
E|-2-----x-----x-----x---|
 Dmaj7   A    Bm9    D5
 
[Outro]
 
The Outro continues with these main chords:
 
(Guitar I)
 
   1...  4...  1...  4...
e|-x-----x-----x-----x---|
B|-2-----2-----2-----3---|
G|-2-----2-----2-----2---|
D|-0-----2-----0-----0---|x8
A|-x-----0-----2-----x---|
E|-2-----x-----x-----x---|
 Dmaj7   A    Bm9    D5
 
But it also adds a low end rhythm part. These notes are played with muted strings, strumming in a constant
eigth-note pattern (or sixteenth, if you're counting in a half time feel; regardless it's similar to the one
used for the main chords) with syncopated accents. I'll write how they're accented here:
 
(Guitar II)
 
   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &...
