Slow blues track. The timing is underneath. If you tap your foot when playing, the + is when your foot is up.
Song listened to and tabs written down by me. I have tried to keep it as accurate as I can given i'm only a
novice of 4 & 1/2 months myself.
The song version this tab is for, is from the album "Ballads & Blues".
The tabs were written by me, for other novice players to play.
You can let all notes ring(continue), until the next note is played. Stop the ring as you play the next note.
The only short notes to be played are towards the end of the song and have been marked.
Note:
Where there are 2 or 3 notes together(like below in the intro), all 3 notes have to be played in that
1/2 a beat. There are no gaps between those notes.
Comments welcome for acuracy & playability. Remember live versions can differ.
Please leave feedback or rate it from the 5 stars.
Thank you. Enjoy.
