Pickapart Tab by John Butler Trio


Words and Music: John Butler
Transcribed by Frank Podmore

Tuning-CGCGCE. John uses a 12 String with one of the strings removed (the octave G)so if 
playing a standard 6 String this won't sound quite right.

There's a lot of slide in this song, but I haven't mentioned where 'coz you should be 
to hear where it's used. If you really can't tell, get another hobby.

I haven't tabbed the whole thing (solos and a number of fills missed out) because 1), 
really hard and 2), there's not really a precise art to playing John Butler songs, as 
who's heard any of his live recordings knows. Just screw around with it, make it your own & enjoy yourself.
