Brown Sugar
The Rolling Stones
Tabbed by Stoneman
14/5/09
We've all heard by now that keith Richards
plays lead guitar without his first
string and the A sting tuned down to a G.
i'm not sure of the way he would hold some of those
chord shapes if that info is correct,
considering that you never have to use the strings that you
have to change anyway,i've figured it all out in standard.
There are also 3 guitars in some parts of the song.
The intro for example has 2 guitars doing the same thing
panned out into the left and right speaker.
as both guitars always appear to be playing the same thing,
I'll try and save alot of confusion and only include the 2.
