Some things to remember when playing When the Levee Breaks: 1, wear the slide on the fourth finger. 2, The tuning is, from 6-1, E, A, C, F, A, C. 3, It`s played on a twelve string, but can be played on a six, and now to get on with it. When the Levee Breaks

Half-time drum intro: Guitar 1, 12 sring electric:

Keep on repeating that riff a bunch of times until the slide part enters:

After the "It`s got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home oh well oh well oh well" line, and the slide that is shown above comes this:

12 string

After that another slide guitar enters (six string with regular tuning

The first opening riff is played pretty much throughout the entire song, besides the other parts that I put here, so have fun with it. Note: This song really only sounds the best if played in a band because of the big time drums and hermonica, not to mention the multiple guitar parts. Any questions, e-mail me at [email protected].
