Bryan says
Does JB really just swing octave bass notes for so much of the song??? Most of the tab is just Travis picked bass, with just a few trills thrown in. I was hoping for much more. There are some wonderful versions of this song on youtube – rich, full and complex, and far, far more interesting than this transcription.
I don’t know if JB leaves space for other instruments, but no one playing this song as an acoustic solo would leave it as barren as this transcription. Very disappointing.
Jerry says
JB does exactly that. Listen to the live solo version.
Fletch says
Wow, good stuff.
Always wondered how he played it :)
Any chance of a transcription sometime of ‘The Road’ from the Running On Empty album?
Raymond says
Thanks Jerry for your great and accurate transcribtion.
I like JB song very much especially this one and I have been searching this tab for a few years. Now I feel very enjoyable to play this song with the most accurate tab from you.
Thank you.Keep up with your good work.Hoping that we can have more and more JB tab posting on the site for us to purchase.
I’ll tell my friends for your wonderful work.
