I Haz Tab For Great Solo/Good Finger Excercise!

One of my Fave tunes. Strawberry Letter 23 by The Brothers Johnson (Lee Ritenour on Guitar on Vid).

Unfortunately the vid I learned the Finger Pattern from a vid that has Paolo Nutini killing the song. There is another vid of the same performance on YT with slightly different Camera shots, so I used both.

I had previously been given a tab(supposedly an official one with the sheet music) which had the correct notes before, but a different Finger Pattern using 3 strings on 3 out of the 4 phrases, I am now fully decided to commit to learning it in the method Lee plays it here, ie on 2 strings per phrase, I'm almost 100% he is only using 2 strings per phrase here.

Each phrase is played 4 times and in the original recording there are 2 cycles of the 4 phrases. Excuse my unorthodox method of writing tab, I don't write it often.

TAB.

Phrase 1.

12 12 10 (e)

12 8        (b)

Phrase 2

13 13 10  (e)

11 10    (b)

Phrase 3

13 13 12 (e)

13 10  (b)

Phrase 4

16 16 11 (b)

13 12  (g)

or

11 11 6  (e)

9  8    (b)

which I find easier.

I might have it up to speed in about 9 months. It's a great finger excercise though and I've not found a correct version of this tab online yet.

Although if you don't like the song the thread is completely useless :-B
