Need Tab For Doob's "black Water"

[dberch]

The only tab I can find is missing at least half the song out of the middle.

Thanks!

Is that close?

[dberch]

Thanks, FNG.  But that's the same tab I found - it's only about 20% of the song.  There's a whole lot of stuff in the middle that is left out.  And those open notes on the Bb chord don't work.   Simmons must be doing something else there.

Try this Power Tab.    http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=song,435

Don't forget to tune your guitar to double drop D.   You'll need to download the free Power Tab player.  There's a treasure trove of Power Tab songs out there.

Hey, thanks Deltoid!  I did find some tab, but I really like being able to see it playing in PowerTab.  Very Cool.  Can't wait to check out what else they have.

Thanks!
David

Hi Giggler,

Power Tab is a computer program you can download for free. It allows you to enter, view, edit, and play guitar tab.  And like any good tab software, you listen to (play) the song.  You hit a Play button, and the software plays the tab file using a (usually bad) computerized guitar sound.  There are several good, cheap tab programs: Tabledit, GuitarPro, Power Tab and more.  Do a Goolgle search on any of those and you find sites where you can download them.

I like them for learning new songs.  It's great to be able to watch the tab hightlight the notes as they are played.

Hope this helps,
David

Hey Deltiod, Thanks for the power tab sites, man.  I just picked up a great lick for the break in Nick Drake's "Northern Sky."  I've been doing it in drop D for years.  Drop D works good for this song 'cause you don't have to tune so many strings.

What he said. Almost. The magazine is Guitar World Acoustic
Plus there is a brief article in which Patrick Simmons describes the writing of the song.

I believe it is also on the Guitar Player website.  At least that's what it says on the cover of the latest (april 2005), with Jimi Hendrix on the cover.
