The Isley Brothers is a highly influential, successful and long-running American music group consisting of different line-ups of six brothers, and a brother-in-law, Chris Jasper. The founding members were O'Kelly Isley, Jr. (1937 - 1986), Rudolph Isley, Ronald Isley and Vernon Isley (1942–1955). They are the only act to have at least one Hot 100 hit in each of six consecutive decades: the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. The Isleys (as they are commonly called) were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.

SONG: LOVE THE INE YOU'RE WITH ARTIST: THE ISLEY BROTHERS TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected]
NOTE: This song version (original by Stephen Stills) although similar in ways to the original is played on the guitar a little differently especially in the verses because in the verses they sing a line and then the guitar plays a quick little riff. Then when they go to the chorus the guitar plays in earnest until that is done and then goes back to playing the quick little riff. If you listen to the song carefully you will understand what I am talking about. Listen closely for the timing and rhythm.
VERSE is played this way and part of the CHORUS as well:
AE/BAE
E --0----x----0----0-- B --5----9----2----0-- G --6----9----2----1-- D --7----9----2----2-- A --0----0----0----2-- E --x----0----0----0--
