NOTICE FROM DWIGHT: This tablature was very, very generously worked out by a variety of people and provided by Stewart Seidel. I have included it here as a service. I wanted to let it be known that I generally have observed students using tablature to emphasize the wrong thing which ultimately destroys their music. Contrary to 'expert' opinion, the music is not about notes, drop thumbs, pulloffs, hammers-onses, more tunes, etc. Listen to the old people, and you will start to catch on to what the music is about: Rhythm -- the thing that is impossible to teach. A student has to CATCH rhythm. First VERY, VERY CAREFULLY develop a strong rhythm and then CAREFULLY start to learn to insert your notes into it using these tabs as a guide. These only point in a general direction for you. True music can never be cloned. You must develop your own rhythms deep inside, and then let what comes out resonate with your spirit, soul, and body. You are your own person. Plan on spending much time letting your story surface within the particular tradition of the music that suits you. Then it will be honest and good, no matter where you are technically. I am not against tab, but I am against anything that stands in the way of a person developing their own personal music.

All of the tab files on this page are stored in TablEdit format. If you don't have TablEdit, you can read about it and download the viewer here. After you've installed TablEdit, click on one of the links below and then click on "Open" and the tab you've selected will open in a separate TablEdit window.
