Lynyrd Skynyrd Sweet Home Alabama This is in the key of G , you need a strat with just a slight bit of distortion , well more a slight bit of gain (PLEASE DO NOT PUT LOADS OF DISTORTION ON!) , The trickiest part if muting the ringing strings and also putting in the rhythmic muted clicks. The track features mainly basic chord shapes which are held while using a picking action , anyway lets get on with it. Notation -------- b (x24432@1) = bend s = slide ( ) = muted note X = muted click H = harmonic p = pull off h = hammer on bd = bend down (with wammy bar) ~ = vibration *2 = repeat again Guitar 1 Intro

include the second longer solo , so i'm not going to!) Guitar Solo ----------- Okay if you want i'll let you put a little bit more distortion on to hide you mistakes now, it might also make the solo have a little more impact to E-15b17b15~?-14-----10~-10-10-10----8---------------?-------------------3-5-3- B----------?----15---------------10----11-10-8-10---?-8-8-10--10b12-3s5------- G----------?--------------------------------------9-?--------9---------------- D----------?----------------------------------------?------------------------- A----------?----------------------------------------?------------------------- E----------?----------------------------------------?------------------------- E--5b7----------3-5---3--5b6b5--3-?-3--------3---------------------- B-------3--4--5-----5-------------?---5s3s5-----3------------------- G---------------------------------?---------------4h5p4------------- D---------------------------------?---------------------5-0--0bd0--- A---------------------------------?--------------------------------- E---------------------------------?--------------------------------- There are also some other guitar fills etc. These should be easy to work out i've covered nearly the whole track here , please let me know what you think , any corrections etc and also drop by my site when you get the chance , also feel free to e-mail me , anyway bye for now
