Shake a tail feather / Blues Brothers Album: The blues brothers, music from the soundtrack Year: 1980 Tabbed by: Bjorn Vije ([email protected]) Member of the Bass Tab Archive Tabbing Army http://www.basstabarchive.com Comment: A great song with a speedy main riff which is the most difficult part of the song. Try to keep the notes well separated for the best effect. Intro: (organ only)
