Green Light Girl Tab

by Doyle Bramhall


Author: Mike Kruft
Artist: Doyle Bramhall II & Smokestack
Album: Welcome
Song: Green Light Girl


I submitted the other tab of GLG, but I ran through it one more time
and found some things to fix, so here's an updated version.

If you're looking at this then bless you for liking good rock and roll.

^ - slight bend
* - major bend
p - pull off
h - hammer on
/ - slide up
~ - vibrato

There's a fast strumming pattern throughout the song
with a lot of palm mutes (especially during the opening)
you'll get the hang of it.
