When I first heard this I was flabbergasted. I can only describe this as some sort of jazzed-up country tune with a whisp of Gipsy, or Romany or whatever you guys call it. And it's fast, with a tight *boom* *chic* stroke. Is this making any sense? I'm sure that what I'm submitting here is incredibly oversimplified and/or incomplete cause I'm doing this from memory, so if anyone can do a more accurate tab, by all means, do it. Anyway, it like, kicks butt. It's on Randy Travis' "Forever and Ever" (I think) but I doubt he wrote this himself. I *love* it! I wish I knew what this style is called, so I could look for more stuff like it. Anyone who's familliar with it, please help me out here. What the **** do I know anyway, I'm dutch and not even supposed to like country music :-) Send all your comments 'n stuff to [email protected], or to the news letter. Regards, Bo.
