Danny Blue by The Allman Brothers Band
I apologize first for all the misspelling in this tab (I'm French)
After a lot of research, I think I've captured a proper tab, It's the closest I can make
and it's my first tab (so be indulgent!)
CAPO 1 (In the video, they play it on capo 0 but the tuning might be D#G#C#F#A#D#,
in my opinion...)
So let's play it on standard tuning CAPO 1
For the riffs look at the bottom of the page to see the tabs and try by yourself to
incorporate them into the song (A little practice and you're good!)
This is important to catch the rhythm in this song, like that (example on C and G
chords) :
E ------0---0---------0---0-------3---3---------3---3---|
B ------1---1---------1---1-------0---0---------0---0---|
G ------0---0---------0---0-------0---0---------0---0---|
D ------2---2---0H2---2---2-------0---0---------0---0---|
A ---3------------------------------------0H2-----------|
E ---3------------------------3-------------------------|
H : Hammer-on
