BROWN SUGAR INTRO

 

 

 

There have been a few requests on the net for more "Stones stuff".

 

I presume that means "Keith Richard". I would like to contribute

 

with an attempt on the Brown Sugar Intro. In previous letters

 

tabulatures were presented with more complex fingering - without

 

retuning the instrument. The following is more straightforward.

 

 

 

N.B. Open-G tuning is requiered. Through away your lower-D string

 

if you are perticular about sounding like Keith does. X, Y, Z are the

 

10th, 11th an 12th position. In hex that would be A, B, C but confusing

 

to use.
