“Tortured Solitaire” Official Guitar Transcription

This is the only authorized guitar transcription for “Tortured Solitaire” by Jody Whitesides. It exists to preserve accuracy, notes, rhythm, phrasing, and the subtle decisions that define the part, so players can trust what’s on the page and focus on musicianship instead of correction.

Online tabs often reduce the song to a rough outline. Accents drift. Space disappears. Timing becomes guesswork. This transcription is the opposite: a definitive reference created to reflect the way the part actually functions inside the song. No scans. No approximations. No community edits.

Built Around the Song Itself

“Tortured Solitaire” lives on control and restraint. The guitar part isn’t there to fill space, it shapes it. Repetition carries pressure. Silence matters as much as attack. The feel comes from consistency and placement, not from added complexity.

Played correctly, the part sits with intention. Notes land where they need to, then get out of the way. The tension builds because the guitar resists the urge to decorate. When those decisions are blurred or rushed, the song loses its center.

This transcription keeps that discipline intact. It respects where the part leans forward, where it holds back, and how repetition accumulates weight over time. The goal is not flash, but inevitability, the sense that the guitar is exactly where it belongs.

Built for Serious Players

This is written for guitarists who care about rhythmic accuracy, articulation, and timing. The details matter: how long a note actually rings, how a figure sits against the beat, and how phrasing supports the groove without calling attention to itself.

It’s designed for focused practice, slow work, repetition, and internalizing feel. The layout is clean so your attention stays on the music, not on deciphering cluttered notation. Teachers and students benefit from starting with the correct information, avoiding the cycle of learning, unlearning, and correcting later.

If you want a reference you can rely on session after session, this is it.

TAB + Standard Notation = Complete Clarity

TAB provides direct access to the physical choices on the instrument. Standard notation provides rhythmic precision and musical intent that TAB alone can’t reliably communicate.

Together, they offer a complete picture: where to play and how the part lives in time. This pairing is essential for understanding phrasing, space, and restraint, elements that define “Tortured Solitaire” more than any single riff.

No theory lessons. Just clear information presented so you can play the part as intended.

Why This Matters for Fans

Ownership changes the relationship to a song. Streaming is convenient, but it’s temporary. Versions shift. Access can disappear. An official transcription is permanent, DRM-free access to a piece of the music you can inhabit and return to.

Purchasing from Jody Whitesides’ official store supports the work directly and helps preserve the catalog in a form that respects the songs. Learning the guitar part is a deeper kind of listening, one that reveals how tension, space, and repetition actually work together.
