More about this title

About the Artist: The Black Crowes

The Black Crowes emerged from Atlanta in 1989 as one of the defining rock bands of the 1990s, blending blues-rock tradition with contemporary songwriting and a raw, energetic stage presence. Led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, the band earned recognition for their guitar-driven arrangements, soulful vocals, and ability to bridge classic rock influences with modern sensibilities, making them essential listening for musicians studying contemporary rock composition and performance.

Why we love this

This song captures the melodic strength and rhythmic vitality that defined 1990s rock radio, offering guitarists a chance to work through chord voicings and timing that feel effortless on the ear but require precision in execution. The tab format removes notation ambiguity and lets players focus on the specific fingering choices that give the song its character.

What to expect

The song radiates the gritty confidence of 1990s arena rock, with a groove that feels both laid-back and propulsive. Crunchy guitar textures and a vocal melody that sits naturally in the upper register create an energetic, anthemic quality that rewards committed playing.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced rock guitarists comfortable with power chords and basic lead work will find rewarding material here. Players building a repertoire of 1990s rock standards will recognize this as essential listening translated into playable form.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in the rhythm pocket by counting the beat consistently through the verse; the groove sits slightly behind the beat in places, so practice with a metronome first to internalize the pocket before adding swing or attitude.
  • Attend closely to dynamic shaping between sections. The transition from verse to chorus gains energy through both volume and pick attack, not just chord changes.
  • Reference the recorded version to capture the texture of the rhythm guitar parts; tab alone won't show you how much space exists between notes or how the guitar layers with other instruments.

How to use it

Include this in a set focused on 1990s rock landmarks or as a bridge piece between classic rock covers and contemporary material in a recital or ensemble performance. It works well as a solo electric guitar feature that demonstrates both rhythm and lead playing capability.

Skills your students will build

  • Translating chord charts and rhythm patterns from tab into consistent groove playing
