This is a rough tab of the rhythm parts which Guthrie Govan plays on Dizzee's Live
Version of 'Holiday' on Beebeesee radio1
 
As with my other tabs, i have just wrote up the parts, not the order. However, you can
the order in which the parts are played here:

Play this until just before Guthrie Takes a solo when he builds up on an Inversion of an
Maj7 chord like this...
 
e|-12-|
B|-10-|
G|-10-|
D|-10-|
A|----|
E|----|
 
Then Comes the solo, but Alas, I am nowhere near skilled enough to transcribe a Guthrie
solo,
 and even if i was, it's not very audible due to Dizzee and co doing some form of skat singing.
 
End on
 
e|--0--|
B|--1--|
G|--2--|
D|--2--|
A|--0--|
E|-----|
 
 
Hopefully, someone more accomplished at transcribing will have a crack at doing that solo.
It's a nice progression to improvise over though, so have fiddle about with it and make
your own bitchin' solo :)
 
Cheers, rate and comment and stuff. :)
