yoyoyojo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I am trying to learn to play City Sirens from the Death Wish 2 sound track. I am unfortunately not very good at figuring out guitar parts. Has anyone ever seen any tabs, standard notation or video lessons regarding this song. Alternatively does anyone here know how to play this song and wouldn't mind providing some pointers. Listening to it there's not that much to it, but even something like the intro and the little fills give me challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in_the_evening Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Wow, I figured SOME tab site would have this.....but nooooo. Hopefully someone on here can help, or hit up some JP fan sites! It's a great tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecongo Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Essentially the song is 3 chords. G D and A so that main riff is like GGGGDDAA G D A GGGG DADA etc etc and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Only Way To Fly Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Dang I need to get that soundtrack - that track is killer and watching Page perform it live is a real treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory on guitar tabs is that a lot of effort was made by a few good souls when the internet was newish (i.e. 80's-90's) and since more and more of us are too lazy (or unskilled) to add to what is there. I am often surprised how things that just a tiny bit obscure are not really explored even for very popular guitar players. If I can get this down I will put together a txt tab page for it and upload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problems is I get caught up in the details, especially all the little fills and melodies. Keep the ideas coming and I will report back as I learn.

It boggles my mind that in 2016 with instant publishing this is an obscure out of print CD. It can be had on Amazon, but i saw it for $30. I bought mine awhile back and paid a pretty penny for it. The more I listen to it the better it sounds. End-to-end it beats out Outrider and I think I am liking it better than the firm. I wish Jimmy would put out something new like this again, time he moves on from the Zep reissues. His playing sounds SO freak'n good on these type of songs.

Mithril46 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ah, just remember that on the soundtrack Page is mixing a few guitars together at certain points, as you have also noticed how the live version certain sections are not as full. That live solo is pretty advanced, Page is using his B-Bender and his technique is up there, he's jumping all over the neck, not sloppy at all. I stink at computers otherwise I would tab it out, I have an iPad , and to upload things,etc., can be a nightmare. Well good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stairway is NOT stolen Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Unfortunately, when it comes to Jimmy's material outside of Led Zeppelin, there is next to nothing tabbed out or video tutorials on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecongo Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Give me a bit I might try to do a quick video tutorial. For the record the version he did with the Firm destroys that version from ARMS show. A real Jimmy tour de force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see some brilliant clear shots of Page's hands during the first verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
