Bad Company did a live version of their song "Feel Like Makin' Love" with mandolin intro and verse parts. I think I have the link below. Anyone have or know of tab for this?

I know the basic chords, but am looking for help with the more "intricate" parts.

Most of the time he just looks to be playing the basic verse chords in simple form D 2002 and G 0023. I used to play this on acoustic guitar, the intro (the following are guitar chords for the top 4 strings) was 0 14 15 14, 0 12 13 12, 0 7 8 7, 0 7 8 7 (first time around) and then 0 14 15 14, 0 12 13 12, 0 7 8 7, 0 2 3 2 (second time around). That works out as D, C, G, G, D C, G, D. With some pinky hammer ons to make them sus4s. I Imagine a similar progression translated to the lower frets of the mandolin would result in something like he's playing. It might be as simple as x055 x033 xo23, x055 x033 x023 x002?
Well it is coming along nicely, I think. when I get it "performable" I will record and post.

Love that video. Who needs a double neck?
Hello Ben....Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin Love" is one of my favorite song's. Howard Leese playing the mandolin makes it even more interesting. I have searched every where to find the mandolin tabs - chords that Howard is playing through out the song. I can't find them any where. Can you help me? I would appreciate it!

Hello Julian....I see what your explaining in regards to the mandolin chords but I'm getting a bit confused. Can you simplify this even more? I really would like to learn to play this song on my mandolin. Thank You!

That was kind of cool.
ANd it's the sort of thing I've been trying to do myself--take songs & crate mandolin parts for them.
Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?
I'm not Julian, but hopefully can shed some light on this for you on the easy part, and then can get into more detail once you're ready.
The verses only use two chords: D (2002) and G (0023) spelled from low to high. Those numbers refer to either open strings or where they are fretted. It's 8 beats of a D chord, and then 8 beats of a G chord, and then repeat.
The chorus has 12 beats of the D chord, and then 2 of a C chord (0230), and 2 of a G chord.
That happens three times.
On the fourth time, there are 8 beats of the D chord, then 4 beats of the C chord, 4 beats of the G chord, and then one beat of D before resting for 15 more beats.
Then back to the verse.
That's as basic as it gets. Once you have that down, I can explain what is happening in the extended mando intro, but only once you have it down.

Hmmm the more I listen to the original the more I think the chorus is
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... G . F .
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... G . F .
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... G . F .
C-D ... C-D ... C-D ... C . G .
D . . .
