Comments on this version of the 'Sweet Home Alabama' guitar tab

geogeetargeogeetarUnknown Date
the start to that song is way off


its more like im not gonna get into but its all played on the bottom 3 strings starting on the 12th of the


d string so ya nice try though
tomseantomseanUnknown Date
Good jod but at the last part of the second solo where you said you couldn't figure out the harmonics that ed does. They are





(12) harmonic on the 4th string


then


(12) harmonic on the 3rd string


then


(7) harmonic on the 3rd string


then


(5) harmonic on the 3rd string





play these fast and it should sound right. Good tab nice work!
tomseantomseanUnknown Date
Sorry i forgot to mention that on the last harmonic on the fifth he uses a wammy bar. thanx

Great tab. But in the intro its 2p0 not 0p2. other than that its good
sammechamsammechamUnknown Date
first of all this is the best tab for this song ive ever seen. but i think on that first riff after you play the G note on the low E string twice im pretty sure you just play the G note on the high E string. and i think the little thing after that goes like this
