The melody of New Orleans Wins The War by Randy Newman runs 381 notes across 81 bars, 3:24 long in E at 134 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.
