Love Ain't no Stranger

Written by David Coverdale, Mel Galley

	  		 
LOVE AIN´T NO STRANGER (COM O SOLO DA GUITARRA)

A-Intro/First Verse

The song begins with (Jon Lord's) wonderful keyboards. The keyboard parts
mainly outline these chord changes, that could be strummed if you don't play
with a keyboard player.

   Who knows where the cold wind blows?  I ask my friends, but nobody knows...

    Who am I to believe in love?      Oh, oh, oh. Love ain't no stranger...

B-Second Verse

The acoustic guitar enters, arpeggiating the same chords(almost). It is pos-
soble that the slide in the Bsus2 chord should be a hammer-on. It is also 
possible that I just have tin ears, but I do think I hear SOME sort of grace 
note there. Anyway, it is just a detail, so if the fingering is tricky to you,
forget it.NOTE: What I call "dive bomb" slide has nothing to do with the thing
you do with the whammy bar. I just don't know what else you call those long,
fast slides down the low E-string.

C-Main Riff/Third Verse

()=These notes are there, but I can't make out if they are played by the 
hammond or another guitar. They don't have to be played by this guitar, anyway.

Make sure to nail that staccato rhythm, and to shake that last B5-chord in
every bar a little. (Maybe it would make more sense to place the 2/4 bar  
after the A5-chord, but that's one for the music theory guys to think about.)

 Verse 3:
I was alone,And I needed love. So much I'd sacrifice for all I was dreaming of.

(With Rhy.fig3)

I heard no warning, but a heart can tell... I feel the emptiness of love I know
so well...

D-Chorus.

Those slighly muted G5-Chords are the key to the fat, chunky sound. I don't
really remember if those "extra" chunks on the open and fifth fret of the A-
string really are on the record, but experiment with 16th-note chunks there.
It can sound very cool...

With Rhy.fig.3 ( 2 times)

    I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed.
    I've known good loving, I'm a friend of pain.
    But when I read between the lines it's all the same...

  Love ain't no stranger.
  I ain't no stranger.
  Love ain't no stranger.
  I ain't no stranger to love...

( A PARTE DE TEXTO ABAIXO PROVAVELMENTE PODE SER REMOVIDA , POIS O AUTOR ORIGINAL INFORMA QUE NÃO TRANSCREVEU O SOLO)

The rhythm part behind the solo is a semi-distorted electric, playing a pro-
gression almost like the one in Rhythm Figure 1. The chords are the same, but
I think they are arpeggiated a little differently. Play that, and nobody will
notice. The solo is a slow beautiful melody thing, that should not be hard to
figure out. I haven't transcribed it, since I work out my own leads for the co-
ver tunes I learn.(Try it, it's great fun).The last three bars of the rhythm
part goes something like this.


|-----------|----|-----|
|--3--3-----|----|-----|      Then the song comes back to rhythm figure 1.

|--2--3-----|----|-----|       With Verse 1.     "Lord have mercy...
                                                  Love ain't no stranger!!!"
F-Agressive part.(Dunno what else to call it)
   
Play this part aggressively(Why do I keep giving these instructions? You know
how the record sounds. Oh, well...).

H-Outro

Turn down the volume knob on your guitar a bit for this tone. This is mainly
Rhythm Figure 1, again with some different arpeggiations.
