Tabbed by: Bobby Ray
Tuning: Standard
This is a really fun song to jam on (and it goes back and forth between Cm7 and
F9 so no worries about improvising over complex chord changes). It seemed like
the other version of this song was pretty close, but not quite right on the the
riffing and some of the chords. I'm still a little uncertain about phrase 4
because the guitar is pretty quiet at that point, but I think what I've come up
with is pretty close. Take note that I don't use a pick, and use my thumb and
three fingers to pluck. Some of the rhythm parts may look kind of funky, but
try playing them with a pick and blending some of the articulation together.
