Album: Long Stretch Of Lonesome
Written by: Gary Scruggs/Tony Arata
Note: You need to hold down two chords at the same time in order
to catch the timing. So you make a combination chord of Bb and F
so that you can keep the C note droning. This will be a four finger
chord and all you need to do is remove one finger to change from Bb to F.
The number over the number is the chord change just remove the finger
that's holding 3 (Bb) once removed you now have F. It will have to be a bar
chord so you can play the alternating bass.
F and Bb chord held at the same time =
XXX2XX X is just to prevent misalignment in this transcription
113311
These numbers represent the frets and not fingers. Its read bass to
treble or starting with the 6th String to the 1st string reading left to
right.
