100 percent correct Dave. Also... good call on the "mess with volume"... when I first heard the song I thought my CD was shorted! lol -JoeWallace | 6/15/2003 |
do you leave the guitar in dropped D for the rest of the song or do you tune it back up for the solo? -saleen9899 | 7/16/2003 |
Leave it dropped D...check my solo tab...the low E string is still tuned to D.. ;) -axehappy | 7/17/2003 |
All of the lead in the song is played in dropped D tuning.. D.A.D.G.B.E -axehappy | 7/26/2003 |
The box he uses to get his sound on Who is a $2500 Matchless amp. The matchless is core of his sound. -SeeU 22 | 8/25/2003 |
what type of pedals can you use to duplicate his sound(s)? -CrossCanadianJB | 10/9/2003 |
how is it possible to slide up from a 3/5... shouldnt it be 5/3, because (/) does mean up right?? I dont see how you slide from UP from the 3 fret to the 5th -PGplayer6 | 1/12/2004 |

Up in 'guitar directions' is towards the pickups, you follow the direction the pitch goes... pitch goes up as you move towards the pickups.. ;-) -axehappy | 1/13/2004 |
For the people wondering about how Keith get's his tone ... I got this information direct from Scotty Huff ... a member in Keith's Band ... and from watching Keith live ...
Keith's main component of sound are the nine (9) (yes, 9) Amp's he uses. 7 of these amps are Matchless DC30 2x12 combo's Then Keith has two Matchless 2x12 Cab's and a Matchless DC30 head powering one of the cabs, and an old Marshall Plexi Head powering the other. 6 of the amps face towards the audience and are directly behind Keith. You can see the old Matchless head in the upper left and the old marshall head in the upper right. the last 3 matchless combo's are facing towards the back of the stage and they are behind the wall of the 1st 6.
Now, as for effects...this is direct from Scotty...
He has 2 GCX loop switchers with a Bradshaw Foot Controller Carl Martin Compressor Cry Baby Wah Wah Fulltone Overdrive (Blue) Fulltone Overdrive (Yellow - with comp settings) Phaser Line 6 Echo Pro
Nashville Anniversary Tele with the Neck and middle pickups removed, Fender Clapton Strat, Gibson SG.
I hope that answer's any questions on how Keith get's his tone.

is it only the e string thats drop d? -negro123 | 1/30/2004 |
Yes it is.. you tune the E down to D as you play that first note -axehappy | 1/31/2004 |
AX, your friggin great!!! I don't even have to look at ratings anymore, if your name is on it, it's all good! -southernblue | 2/2/2004 |
instead of havin 9 billion matchless amps he should have 2 flextone 3's, line 6 rules! -prslegacy | 3/4/2004 |
I work as Stage Security at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. I get to see a lot of who's playing what. I talked to Keith's guitar tech last month when he was their w/kenny chesney. He should me his guitars and the one he's playing on this song is a Fender Tele with one single coil EMG pickup in the bridge position and that's all it has in it. It has two more holes for pickups but they are empty. He also played a Gibson SG for a lot of his songs. -rky3fan | 4/10/2004 |
Great work... but Keith plays this part, as well as the end of the intro higher up on the guitar at a different octave...

When I saw Keith Urban at the House of Blues he said something about being another band before doing what he is now, does anyone know what it was called?

Has anyone tried to recreate his sound on a gnx processor? I have a gnx1 and I suck at setting it up. -tstancil | 7/17/2004 |
What does the simble at the ver start of the song mean 0\D thanx -kv | 10/9/2004 |
0/D means to play an open E string and tune down to D while it's ringing. The song is played in dropped D tuning. -urbanriffs | 10/10/2004 |
Great stuff Dave...Thought I would never be able to play it. Thanks to you...I can!! -browntrout | 10/28/2004 |

Hey axehappy I m a new member and to see some of your tabs and playing them sounded awsome so keep on trucken this is the canadian out -ericthatcher | 12/5/2004 |
I saw Keith live on TV and I believe he tuned the low E string from the D back to the E. I don't know for sure so please don't cuss me out!!!!!!!!!! -pizzaman | 2/3/2005 |
No he doesn't beacause half the riffs in the song and part of the solo plays on the now D string. -KU_isbestever | 2/17/2005 |
SOUNDS REALLY GOOD...HOW THE HELL DO FIGURE ALL this STUFF OUT... -tyson79ca | 2/23/2005 |
any way to get a soundbyte. would really appriciate it...axe you always do great work. -WALKER8527 | 3/8/2005 |
Done.. sorry, I didn't play the slow version at the end all that slow, but it is a little bit slower than the first one :) -axehappy | 3/9/2005 |
I have a Gnx1. 4 the red channel i used a decent distortion. 4 the green play around with the acoustic setting and leave the wah the way it is. Just use the wah and thats it no other effects.(dont want it to sound like a bad star wars) -Derek_Cave99 | 3/22/2005 |

Anyone know the mandolin Chord Formations?? -Flashgore | 7/19/2005 |
Wow!! This is a great tab..site as a whole infact! I luv all these KU tabs. He is soo freakin fast though, I've tried some of the other ones, Clutterbilly for example, let's say I still need lotsa practice..hehe thx for this one too, I was wondering what it was he was doin' in the beginning (I mean tuning something obviously but wasn't sure exactly what), so now it's makin since. Also I was playin around in the intro part and came up w/ some cool stuff on my own even though it may not be exactly what he plays lol I like it. ;)
