WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Zac Brown Band - Knee Deep Chords | Ver. 1
I've been making my own tabs for a while, but this is the first I've posted (only
because there are no good ones out there and this is a great song). It is played
moderately fast, so practice slowly before you move onto playing with the song,
but some parts do need to be heard to understand the picking rhythm (as they sound
strange played incorrectly). Let me know if any errors are found.
Thanks and enjoy! :)

~ADDIONAL LEAD RIFF~
This is the lead guitar lick that is played occasionally throughout the song
(marked by [*]). It just consists of keeping the forefinger on the 11th fret of
the B and high E string while hammering on with either the middle or ring finger
and the pinky. Since it requires 2 guitars, I did not include it in my main work
(although the ending little lick in the Intro Riff is also a second guitar, but I
decided to put that in as it's manageable to play with everything else), but if
anyone is interested, here's the tabs! :)
