Brandi Carlile – You and Me on the Rock (Tab) Here’s my take on Brandi Carlile’s Joni Mitchell influenced and very catchy You and Me on the Rock. Intro: The Mitchell influence kicks in right away with a Big Yellow Taxi-esque strumming riff. Verse: And continues with a wordy verse. It’s tricky to hit every […]

Willie Nelson – Stardust (Tabs) A tab of Willie Nelson’s version of Stardust (written by Hoagy Carmichael) for everyone who likes a bit of Willie.

Rod Stewart – Maggie May (Tab) A tab of Rod Stewart’s 70s smash Maggie May. Intro 1: The album version of the track starts with Martin Quittenton’s (completely out of place) little contrapuntal piece in 3/4 time.
