SKU: A0.1895877

By Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan. Composed by Chaka Khan. Arranged by Derek Mahoney. This edition: pdf. Pop, R & B, Soul. Guitar Tab with Voice. 17 pages. Derek Mahoney #1454313. Published by Derek Mahoney (A0.1895877).

Lock into the ultimate R&B pocket with this meticulous guitar transcription of "Sweet Thing" by Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. This arrangement captures the genius of guitarist Tony Maiden, offering a highly accurate, note-for-note breakdown of one of the most covered and studied soul ballads of the 1970s.

Designed for intermediate and advanced guitarists, this transcription bypasses simplified chord charts to provide beautiful voicings capturing the feel and verve of the original 1975 recording—including the signature major 9ths, 13ths, and precise voice leading. It clearly maps out the intricate, laid-back 16th-note syncopation and the subtle arpeggiations that give the track its iconic, floating groove. As a delightful bonus, included in this arrangement are a few wonderful chord progressions that essentially engage in a conversation with the vocals.

Whether you are a gigging musician prepping for an R&B set, a neo-soul player looking to study classic chord vocabulary, or a cover band guitarist wanting to nail the authentic feel, this sheet music provides the definitive roadmap to the song's rhythmic and harmonic foundation.
