Shake a tail feather / Blues Brothers Album: The blues brothers, music from the soundtrack Year: 1980 Tabbed by: Bjorn Vije (bjorn@scouting.dhs.org) Member of the Bass Tab Archive Tabbing Army http://www.basstabarchive.com Comment: A great song with a speedy main riff which is the most difficult part of the song. Try to keep the notes well separated for the best effect.

You can also play the first part of the riff starting on the 10th position of the E-string.
