  Hello folks.  

  

  I've been a constant reader of this newsgroup, but never contributed  

  anything so far.  So, I decided to take some time and type up some tab

  stuff during my work. ;^)  Following is a blues tune called "Backwater 

  Blues" that I happened to find in a magazine called "Accoustic Guitar 

  yesterday at a nearby CD shop.  It wasn't so hard and fun to play.

  Since tab form can't express time interval, I hope you will figure

  that out by feeling.  Once you get used to the progression, you can 

  also enjoy improvising your own style too.
