Bert Jansch – Read All About It tab

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Read All About It
Album: From the Outside
Tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 1st fret

This is a nice little number and reasonably easy to play; there are various fingering
possibilities you could use as an alternative to some of these, for example the D minor
and A minor riffs in the second section can be played either as barres or in open position
at some points. I'm not a big fan of full barres due to my skinny fingers so I generally
go for the open option when I can! Experiment. This is basically the 1st verse tabbed;
the intro and the other verses are the same material with a few minor variations (which
you'll probably end up doing yourself anyway). Have fun :o)

Rhythm = 4/4
