About the Artist: Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow rose to prominence in the 1990s as one of rock music's most distinctive voices, blending country, rock, and pop sensibilities into radio-friendly yet musically substantial songs. A nine-time Grammy Award winner, Crow has maintained a career spanning three decades with hits that showcase strong songwriting and memorable melodies alongside her confident vocal delivery.

Why we love this

This TAB captures one of Crow's signature songs with straightforward, singable riffing that rewards clean technique without demanding virtuosity. The rock-solid rhythm and accessible melody make it a favorite for guitarists exploring 90s alternative rock repertoire, and it's satisfying to play at performance tempo.

What to expect

Direct and confident, with a memorable hook that lodges itself immediately. The riff has an easy-going swagger that feels neither overly polished nor rough; it sits comfortably in the pocket and invites you to settle into the groove.

Who it's for

Guitarists working through contemporary rock repertoire, from intermediate students building comfort with 90s songwriting to ensemble players adding recognizable material to setlists. It's equally useful in pop-rock ensembles, guitar recitals, and casual performance contexts.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into a steady groove by focusing on the rhythm pocket rather than rushing through the riff; Crow's appeal comes from confident, relaxed phrasing.
  • Use dynamics to shape the riff across repetitions; subtle variations in attack and volume prevent the phrase from feeling mechanical.
  • Pay attention to the recorded version's production details; the guitar tone benefits from subtle overdrive or compression that sits firmly in the mix without overwhelming it.

How to use it

Program this alongside other 90s alternative rock staples to create a cohesive set that connects with broad audiences. It works as a bridge piece in recitals mixing classical and contemporary material, or as an opener in ensemble concerts where you're introducing less familiar concert-goers to guitar-centered repertoire.
