Happier Times - Joe Bonamassa
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Tim van Kester
This is a tab for the solo's of Joe Bonamassa's 'Happier Times'. There are some
things I have to say first:
- The first notes of the first solo are normally played on the D-string, but
it gave me a sharper, better tone on the G-string. Joe uses a capo on the 3th
fret.
- A note about the second solo: I'm still not sure about the last part of the
5th bar and the first part of the 6th bar. It would have been strange to cut
it out of the tab, so I tried to tab it anyway.
- I just tried not to chop licks in half, so some bars have some empty space,
please do not think that you have to wait there or something.
Feel free to post some comments about mistakes I made :)
