! Listen to song for strumming pattern
NOTES:
Anywhere you see '!' means to listen to the song to figure out the strumming
pattern...you'll probably have to listen to figure the stums out...unless
someone can suggest a good way to notate them for me so I can fix it...like I
said, any questions, hit me with an email and I'll try to answer as best I can.
Also, the 'B5' chords in parentheses in the verses are there for note to the
acoustic guitar player...for instance, the bass player would not play a 'B'
note there, it's just a place for the acoustic guitar player to add a little
flash. The chords don't always match up with what the acoustic guitar is
playing, those are just the chords WITHIN which the acoustic player is
playing...for instance, I have the 'xx4477' chord notated as a B5, but a
standard B5 is 'x244xx'...they're the same chord, more or less, but to play
what the acoustic guitar player is playing on the album, you'd have to follow
my tab rather than the strict chords that are written...that's why I split the
two chords up and called one 'B5 inv. 1' and the other 'B5 inv. 2'. If you're
serious about playing this song but need some help (as yes, this song IS
confusing, to me, even reading my OWN tab...it's intended as more of a roadmap
to 'Over And Over' enlightemnent, if you will), I'd be happy to get in a voice
chat in AIM or YIM and jam out, maybe help you learn it...toss me an e-mail and
give me your screen name and what program and I'll log on and we can chat
about it some. Also, on the chord 'D/F#', if you have a hard time with it (I
do), try using your thum to play the low 'F#' (2nd fret on the low E string)
while playing a 'D'...helps me, anyways...
One last thing, and I hate to feel like I have to say it, but I feel like I
need to...questions and comments are welcome and encouraged, I love them, but
anything seriously negative like 'this is the worst tab I've ever seen' or 'you
suck at life' are gonna get a) deleted and b) you banned...people put a lot of
work into their tabs, including me, and no one appreciates their effort
stepped on by someone who didn't take the time to tab out their own
interpretation of the song. If you see soemthing in my tab you disagree with
or think is incorrect, rock on, tell me, I want to have a perfect tab here.
But it's when I get comments (happens all the time, and it sucks) like 'Why do
you bother?' and such, it gets to me, so I'd appreciate if those could be kept
private. Hokay, no more soapbox now.
All the B.S. aside, please enjoy *my* interpretation of one of my personal
favorite songs of all time by a legend in the living, Pat Green. Happy
Pickin'!
