Feel Like Makin' Love: Authentic Guitar TAB

This collection gives guitarists direct access to the riffs and chord voicings that defined Bad Company's sound across nearly two decades of hits. The TAB transcriptions capture both the signature moments and the nuanced variations that make these songs rewarding to study and perform, offering insight into how blues-influenced rock writing translates to the fretboard.

These songs carry the swagger and blues-rock swagger of the 1970s, mixing straightforward rock grooves with sophisticated chord progressions and layered guitar work. Each track balances accessibility with genuine musicianship, delivering that satisfying blend of power and polish that made Bad Company enduring staples of classic rock radio.

Guitar students and teachers seeking authentic transcriptions of rock repertoire with strong harmonic and melodic content. This folio works well for intermediate to advanced players who want to understand the arrangement and fretboard voice-leading behind these classic recordings.

• Pay attention to the dynamics marked in the original recordings; Bad Company's arrangements rely on controlled dynamics shifts to build tension and release, especially in the verses and chorus transitions.
• Study how the lead and rhythm guitar parts interact throughout each song. Many tracks layer complementary lines that create the full texture, so mapping out which notes belong to which guitar helps with arrangement clarity.
• Lock the timing with a click track or backing track to match the feel of the original recordings, which often sit slightly behind or ahead of the beat to create a relaxed, intentional groove.
• Work through the barre chord shapes and position shifts before playing at tempo; several songs require quick, clean transitions between different chord voicings on the neck.

Assign individual songs as student recital repertoire, or use selections to illustrate how classic rock arranges for multiple guitars. The variety of styles within the collection suits progressive-level curricula where students need to develop fluency across different feels, from blues shuffle grooves to uptempo rockers.
