《Baba O'Reilly》是The Who乐队1971年专辑《Who's Next》中的开篇曲目，被誉为摇滚史上的经典之作。这首歌的创作灵感来源于乐队成员Pete Townshend对合成器和极简音乐的探索，同时融合了他对精神导师Meher Baba和作曲家Terry Riley的敬意。歌曲的题目就是两人名字的结合。

歌曲以合成器音效开场，逐渐加入吉他、钢琴、贝斯和鼓，营造出一种恢弘的气势。歌词则表达了对青春的迷茫、对未来的向往以及对现实的反思，引发了无数听众的共鸣。

乐谱解析与演奏技巧：

乐谱中提供了双吉他的演奏方法，模拟了合成器的效果。Guitar 1负责演奏重复的A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D-A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D节奏型，Guitar 2则演奏G-G-B-B-e的旋律。

在钢琴和贝斯进入后，歌曲进入F-C-Bb的简单和弦进行。吉他可以替代钢琴演奏这些和弦，乐谱中也提供了相应的指法。

歌曲的桥段部分采取C5和C和弦，营造出一种柔和的气氛。而吉他独奏部分则可以自由施展，但要注意坚持与歌曲的整体作风一致。

歌曲的热潮部分回归F-C-Bb的和弦进行，并重复吟唱“Teenage wasteland!”，将歌曲的情绪推向巅峰。

情感与思想：

《Baba O'Reilly》表达了对青春的迷茫和对未来的向往。歌词中“Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals”展现了年轻人在现实生活中所面临的困境，而“Teenage wasteland”则表达了对社会现实的失望和反思。然而，歌曲也传递了一种积极的信息，鼓励人们勇敢面对挑战，追求自己的梦想。

总结：

《Baba O'Reilly》是一首充斥力量和反思的摇滚经典。通过学习这首歌曲的吉他谱，你不仅可以掌握一定的演奏技巧，更能够深入了解歌曲背后的故事，感触感染The Who乐队的摇滚精神。

The Who--Baba O'Reilly
Starts out on a synth, but using two guitars:
Guitar 1:
Finger

e  x
B  x
G 10
D 10
A   8

E  x
Pick quickly A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D-A-A-D-D-G-G-D-D (all sixteenth notes) over and
over

(Technically, this is until the end of the song, when the violin comes in.)
Guitar 2:
Finger:
e  13
B 13
G 10
D  x
A  x
E  x
Pick quickly G-G-B-B-e (The G and B strings are played as sixteenth, the e
is picked as an eighth)
After 5 repetitions, the piano enters, after four piano and synth parts,
the drums and bass enter.  The piano and bass play a simple
F-C-Bb progression
For guitar in place of piano, it is played
  F                                            C     Bb 

e    5                                             3      1
B    6                                             5      3
G    5                                             5      3
D    x                                             x      x

A    x                                             x      x
E    x                                             x      x
The first verse is played the same way:
F               C     Bb
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals

I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight

To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
(yeah yeah yeah yeah ye-ah!)
NOW Townshend throws in the power chords along the same rhythm (F-C-Bb)
Play that pattern 5 times, then it softens for the bridge:
Play C5 three times, then softly strum a first-position C chord
(With the opening F5 synth pattern only:)
Don't cry
Don't raise your eyes
It's only a teenage wasteland
The chords ring in again, with bass and drums, the synth still rolling
Sally take my hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire but don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy won't come near
Let's get together before we get much older
A soft guitar solo, in the same key, but one I can't figure out yet.
Hitting a few F5 chords, the drums and bass ring back in and the bar chords
return in the F-C-Bb pattern:
Teenage wasteland!
Teenage wasteland!
Teenage wasteland, oh yeah!
Teenage wasteland!
They're all wasted!
F-F-C-C-Bb-Bb-C-C
Tab:
F chord:
e: -12-13-15--12-13-15-1213-15
Repeat, over a C then Bb chord, then, over C
e: -15-13-15-13-15-12--15-13-15-12-13-15-12-----15
The violin comes in over the synth part, which fades out as the violin
plays until the end, when the synth returns for a crescendo up onto yet
again the F5 chord.
A classic, a masterpiece--only Pete Townshend (although any group doing
this without Keith Moon on drums loses something!)
