ALL YOU EVER WANTED by The Black Keys. Great track off Attack Release Album,
nice slow blues rhythm, quite easy to play, acoustically or as intended on
electric, there are some individual notes on the intro but one can play around
with them over the E and A strings while on the C/G chord.
It is meant to be a C chord but the C/G gives it a beefier tone – up to you.
Occasionally I embellish the C/G by lifting the 3rd and 4th fingers making this
an Am7 chord – works quite nicely!
Hope you like it – it's my first posting on UG so KIND comments or
corrections welcome. Chords by Northwake.

Crank up the volume/stomp on the distortion here, slide the C/G down slightly and back,
add a lift from third and fourth finger (Am7) to get a slight tonal change then one
quick F (vibrato) back to C/G…,one elongated G (vibrato) then finish on C/G.
C/G C/G ( F ) C/G C/G ( G ) - finish on C/G
