I like to stick a little solo in - nothing fancy - bluesey pentatonic based
on the 5th fret does the trick.

That's it - easy to play, sounds great through a les paul with the gain right up.

In the words of the almighty Tap: 'Have a good time. All the time'.

Your Touch - The Black Keys
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: sbrita
Email:

Tuning: standard

As with most Keys songs, Dan plays this with a lot of open strings in open positions so
his sound is large. He also likes to play on the lower strings to get that bass-y feel.
So let those open strings play and hold the root chords of A and E as much as possible.
I think this is pretty close.

Intro:
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------1------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------2--x-x-x--0---7-7-7-7-5-7-5--------------|
D|-------------------------------2--x-x-x------7-7-7-7-5-7-5--------------|
A|-----------2--0--5-5-5-3-5-3---0--x-x-x------5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------|
E|--5--3--0---------------------------------------------------------------|

When he sings I believe he simplifies the hand positions a bit! He hits that 7th fret E
string (C note) with his pinkie with a slight bend.
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---2-------------7--7------7--------------------------------------------|
A|---0-------3--0--5--5------5--------------------------------------------|
E|-----3--0-------------7(b)---7(b)---------------------------------------|


If you find that is too hard, you can play that D chord in open position like this - but
its doesn’t sound as good, I think.
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
