• Song:

    Ambulence Blues

  • Artist:

    Neil Young

First Tab Ever!! but trust me it sounds good.

Standard Tuning, Capo 3rd

When playing the first G of each verse, start at low E and go up the strings, and 
hammer-on the third fret up (from the capo) on the B string.

When switching to C, hammer-on the same fret on the B string to make it sound good.  
Just listen to the song to get a feel for what it sounds like.
