I've been a constant reader of this newsgroup, but never contributed anything so far. So, I decided to take some time and type up some tab stuff during my work. ;^) Following is a blues tune called "Backwater Blues" that I happened to find in a magazine called "Accoustic Guitar yesterday at a nearby CD shop. It wasn't so hard and fun to play. Since tab form can't express time interval, I hope you will figure that out by feeling. Once you get used to the progression, you can also enjoy improvising your own style too.
