Artist: Fine Young
Cannibals

Percussive guitarist Eric Roche created a
solo guitar arrangement of She Drives Me
Crazy for live performance. His version
included the vocal melody in the guitar part.
Our version of She Drives Me Crazy is
arranged for performance with a vocalist,
therefore the vocal melody is omitted.
Instead, more details from the synth, drum
and bass parts are included.

2) THE GUITAR PART FOR SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY
The Verse riff contains some percussive hits.
The first note of each bar requires the RH to
Here is the bass-drum location used.
play a bass note with the thumb whilst
simultaneously making a bass-drum hit with
the heel of the hand.
The first snare in each bar can be sounded
by tapping the top of the guitar with the RH
The 2nd snare in each bar of the verse riff can
be sounded by tapping the side of the guitar
near the neck with the LH fingers, as shown.
The 4 chords in the song are D, G, Bm and A. These are notated above the stave line in this
simple form for ease of use, regardless of the fact that sometimes the use of open strings in a
chord voicing will create complex extensions to each chord. The open strings form a Dsus4
chord for example, rather than the D chord listed.
What other interesting chord extensions can you find?
How would you name each of the chords in the Chorus?
