Song Tabs

 The original version of "Gimme Some Money" by Spinal Tap is a playful parody of 1960s British Invasion rock, featuring straightforward chords and a driving rhythm. Mimicking the song's energetic feel will help you deliver its satirical spirit.

## Chords and Progression

This song uses basic open chords: E, A, D, C, B, and Asus4. These are friendly for beginners, though B may be challenging. Practice switching between E, A, and D first, as these appear frequently.

## Strumming Pattern

Try a simple downstroke pattern at first: Down-Down-Up-Up-Down-Up per measure. As you get comfortable, accentuate the first beat for a more authentic rock feel. Keep your strumming hand loose and steady.

## Chord Transitions

The verses often move quickly between E, A, and D. Practice these transitions slowly, ensuring each chord rings clearly. For the sequence [A][D][C][A], anticipate the C chord by moving your third finger down a string. The B chord is typically played as a barre chord; if that's too hard, try playing just the top three strings for now.

## Techniques and Tips

In the instrumental, alternate between A and Asus4 by adding your pinky to the B string (third fret) for Asus4. This adds flavor while staying simple.

Stay relaxed, keep your changes clean, and don't rush. With practice, you'll capture the tongue-in-cheek rock vibe of the song.
