The Who – Can’t Explain Guitar Tab

Here is the guitar tab for The Who’s – Can’t Explain. Peter Townsend is considered one of the best rock guitarist of all time, and has a lot of music to choose from for beginner guitar songs and has recorded just as many riffs that will take quite a lot of skill to master.

You can see that this guitar tab has barre chords, but you could easily use the basic open chord forms to get the sound your looking for. It is not unusual for a rhythym guitar player to play the open chords and sing while the lead guitarist will play the barre chords or even fill in with some single or double note backing.

Once you do get the open fingering and the barre chord for a song, go ahead and try to mix and match up where on the fretboard you are playing the progressions. This will help to develop your own musical style and it will make you a more versitle musician.

Some people consider The Who as the band that was the seed for punk rock. You can see a bit of anti-establishment in their style and they had a bit of a punk look to them. When you play the song with amplifiers and distortion it is actually a lot fun to do as a band.

The Scorpions had a hit with Can’t Explain , but most fans know the The Who version as the original.
