Release Me - Jay McDonald whole take

Post by Markus Mayerhofer »

I finally made it to tab out the whole take of "Release Me".
It's a lot of fun to play and a great lesson in what can be done with just 3 pedals.
The 1st part already was posted here previously, the final part after the fiddle break is new!
After playing this several times, a few slight corrections in part 1 occured to me.
As always, corrections and hints are warmly welcome!
My special interest is on the first triplet-notes of last bar on page 4, i assumed it to be a pull-off, but i'm not quite shure...it's so completely out of the AB-Chord position, and it would be not my personal and intuitive first choice in beginng this phrase, but i can't help, i hear a pull-off there...who knows...

Erv,
I can read it! I wish more folks would show the timing on their tabs. I can actually play this tune because he shows the timing on this west coast style tune. However, this style can be very tricky. I would like to know how long Jay played with Buck. This tab was a lot of work and I thank anyone who puts this kind of effort in tabbing songs for the Forum.
