Trying to tab this song, having some trouble. All I've been able to figure out is the intro, which I THINK is:

3 -4 -4~~~ || -3 -4 5 3~~

But I'm not sure. Pretty sure it's in the key of Bb.

Any help?

Bumping. Could I get a little bit of help here? This song's hard to tab for me.. but I know for sure if I had the tabs I'd be able to play it.

Bluesy,

I feel ya, been frustrated many timesin trying to tab something out myself or find tabs to a specific song.

Many on this forum don't believe in the tab approach and so most likely aren't willing to help you out. I've seen people chastised on here for asking for tabs. The usual response from the critics is that you're better off in the long run figuring it out for yourself. Maybe true, but I don't agree with that philosophy myself. To me, anything that get's someone playing and enjoying playing is a good thing in my book.

Unfortunately, my ears aren't good enough to tab it out for ya (at least not quickly) or else I would.

Lumpy had an interesting idea. I'm not sure Graham would actually answer you back, though that email that lumpy posted is on his website under the contact me section. It's probably more there for anyone wanting him as a session guy or for a gig. But that's just a guess on my part. Ya got nothing to lose trying it, right?

His site is kinda weird (at least to me). Lists about 10 movie credits, has some tracks you can play (though not "lonesome campfires", mostly orchestral arrangments where you don't know exactly what instrument he's playing on what track). The guy plays mandolin, violin and banjo as well. The bio section was kind of skimpy. Maybe weird's the wrong word. I just thought there would be more to it and/or put together better, if you were going to take the trouble to have your own website that you're presumably using to promote yourself.

The one thing we can do though is embed the piece that you're talking about. Forum members are more likely to at least listen to it that way:



wished I could help ya more, good luck with it.

Tabbing out a whole song is kind of a big request. This is time you should be putting in time to learn your instrument. That being said, someone will probably love to take a crack at it. I hate tabs, so I won't be much help for you...
