Howlin Wolf – Smokestack Lightning (Tabs)

Howlin’ Wolf – Smokestack Lightning (Tab) Howlin’ Wolf’s Smokestack Lightning is inspired by a train. So, the number one priority is keeping a propulsive rhythm up. Intro: Starting off with the riff, which is fun to play. Well worth learning, even if you’re not bothered about the rest. The intro is a bit off-kilter. You’d […]

In the Pines/Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Tabs)

Lead Belly/Nirvana – In the Pines (Tabs) In the Pines is a traditional song but the most famous versions are by Lead Belly and Nirvana. I mostly worked from the Nirvana version for this arrangement and I’ve kept it very simple. The arrangement kicks off with a short intro. There’s lots more you can do […]

Oh Shenandoah (Tabs)

Oh Shenandoah (Tab) Loads of people have covered Oh Shenandoah, but the Tom Waits and Keith Richards version is the one I’m most familiar with. I’ve arranged it three different ways. In order of easiest to trickiest. I’d recommend using this version as a springboard for your own. You can mix and match sections and […]

The Flaming Lips – Do You Realize?? (Tabs)

The Flaming Lips – Do You Realize?? (Tab) There’s nothing too difficult to play in Do You Realize?? . But it is constantly shifting. There are slight changes in chord progressions, melodies and time signatures. Not much is a direct repeat. I found keeping track of everything a bit taxing on the noggin. Intro: I’ve […]

Yusuf/Cat Stevens – The Wind (Tabs)

Yusuf/Cat Stevens – The Wind (Tab) The Wind comes across as a gentle little ditty. But there are some fiendish time signature changes in the chorus to deal with. This version is slowed down to about 90% of the original which makes it easier to handle. Intro: A very simple start using one-finger-per-string picking. Which […]
