Queen – Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon (Tab) Queen’s Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon is a very short song but it packs in a whole lot of notes. Intro: The hardest part of the whole song is the chromatic run between bars 3 and 4. I spread the notes between the strings to make it […]

Bob Dylan – You Belong to Me (Tab) You Belong to Me was originally written by Price, King & Stewart in 1952. But I first heard the Bob Dylan cover on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack. And it’s the Dylan version this arrangement is based on. Intro: A very brief intro just to establish the […]

Part of the reason it’s so popular is its long gestation taking in Curtis Jone’s Roll Me Mama and Bob […]

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.
