Title: Whiskey On Ice Artist: Hank Williams Jr. Album: Volume 8 - High Notes Tabbed by: Levi Garrett (TheLeadGuitarist@Hotmail.com) This is my variation of the original tab for this song. If you get the strumming patterns right, it sounds exactly like Hank's version. For the intro & Fill 1, simply move your 1st (index) finger from the G string to the A string to play the variations on the D chord. It's much easier to play than the fingerpicked version and it sounds just like the song. I've rewritten the song in Dropped-D tuning for this variation; simply mute the low E string with your thumb while strumming the D chords, and you can mute it with your second finger by forming a normal G chord but not actually fretting the E string. Use your first finger for the 0-2 (this is not a hammer on, listen to the song for the correct timing) and your second (middle) finger for the 3B, then move your hand back into the D position. Let me know your opinion on this tab. Thanks!
