Guest Cousin Tupelo Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Here is how I play it (based on the Sunken Treasure solo performance): Only 3? I'd easily rate this song four monkeys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 i'd give it 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Nice work anthonyc007. The chords vary slightly after the intro so I just tweaked your version a bit. Thanks! I always felt mine was a little lacking, but my ear is very poor. Nice job. Definitly a five monkey song... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucknaked Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm somewhat new to playing guitar and would love to learn this song. I've got a couple questions about the tab in this thread that I'm hoping someone can answer: 1) When doing the pulloff on the F barre chord, are you just lifting the finger doing the barring and leaving the other fingers planted on the strings? I'm familar with pulloffs on open chords just never tried it on barre chords. 2) Anyone have any recommeded strumming patterns for this song? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm familar with pulloffs on open chords just never tried it on barre chords.In a nut shell, yes. I pull the whole index off when doing this manueuer on F (or and barre chord. The Bm pulloff in the intro Neil Young's "Out On the Weekend" has a similar trick). 2) Anyone have any recommeded strumming patterns for this song?I tend to travis pick this one (I tend to travis pick by default - but thats a personal crutch to bear). But listen to the song and find your own voice. Make it your own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It really helps those of us just starting out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
