The melody of Not Gon’ Cry by Mary J. Blige runs 520 notes across 34 bars, 4:26 long in Am at 55 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
