Tennessee Side of Things - Travis Book
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: SirRotenous
Tuning: EADGBe
Capo 4
This tab is based off of the gondola sessions video, played by Travis book and his bandmate
Andy Falcon from the Infamous String Dusters. I have simplified it to be a single
guitar part, but it still sounds great if you can sing along. I strongly reccomend you
watch the video
to get the rythm and timing of the notes right, and maybe pick up a few stylistic things.
