STREETHEART - "HOLLYWOOD"
Topic: New Tab Postings

It looks like things are getting back to normal here. I was able to re-post the GS tab page, images will upload again, and I'm getting daily stats again. The only thing that still isn't working is that I'm not getting e-mail notices about blog comments. So I just discovered one was left about four days ago that I didn't know about. I'll answer that soon.

"Hollywood" has always been my favourite of Streetheart's singles. It's from the band's second album Under Heaven Over Hell (1979). It was their first album to feature guitarist John Hannah, orignal guitarist Paul Dean having departed after the band's debut album. He would go on to form Loverboy. Hannah, for his part, had played guitar for Harlequin, and he would later return to that band.

UHOH was recorded in Quebec, with a production team that included Nazareth guitarist Manny Charlton. The album also included the hit "Here Comes the Night", originally made famous by Van Morrison band Them. The album went platinum in Canada, with sales of over 100,000 units.

During their recording career, the Regina band produced six Gold albums, four of which went on to achieve Platinum status. In 2003, they were inducted into the Western Canadian Music Hall Of Fame.

I think there are probably multiple ways to play the main riff in this song. I don't know if the way I've tabbed it is the definitive way, but I opted for a fingering that falls fairly naturally on the fretboard.
