Artist: Riddlin' Kids
Song: I Feel Fine
Album: Hurry Up And Wait
Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (Drop D, down 1/2 step)
Notes: This is a great song from a great local artist from Austin, TX (my hometown). It is actually played with two guitars but can be played with one (except for the guitar picking in the chorus).
My tabbing system:
TITLE (xTimesPlayed) (Other notes, such as Palm Mute):
NOTES
BEATS
SHEET MUSIC
TAB
TIMES PLAYED (measure)
I write it this way so it's a lot (hopefully) easier for you experts and you newbies to read. Getting the tab is easy, but for newbies, getting the beats is not that easy. I included the sheet music version in case you learned that way, and then also the beats to make it even more plain and clear. If you're an expert, skip all that stuff and just pay attention to the title, tab and the times played sections.
INTRO (x2) (In section 2, I recomend picking G using the first finger, sliding with finger 3, picking A with finger 2, and then sliding with finger 1. This will bring you right back to the correct position to play section 1):
D G A
