WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Curtis Stigers And The Forest Rangers - John The Revelator Chords | Ver. 1
NOTE: ALL CHORDS are played as BARRE CHORDS. I also
slide from one chord to the next instead of
just moving or picking my hand up to go from
one chord to another. (PLEASE READ NOTES AT
THE BOTTOM OF THIS TAB).
THIS TAB ALTHOUGH VERY PLAYABLE TO THE VERSION
STATED IS NOWHERE NEAR HOW THEY ACTUALLY PLAY IT.
THIS IS MY INTERPRETATION ONLY !!

ALL IMPROVISED SOLOING IS PLAYED AT THE 3rd 5th and 7th FRETS.
NOTE: The FILL above is NOT part of the song and the CHORDS
throughout are only my interpretation of the song. There are
2 guitars as well as a slide guitar playing along. To me the
instrument that really makes this song is the VOICE of the
singer. Everything else can be truely ad libbed in my opinion.
You could almost basically get by just playing the D chord and
a Dm.... DO NOT BE AFRAID TO IMPROVISE !!!!!!
Please do NOT rate this tab if you are comparing it to the
actual recording. I watched at least three videos of this
group playing the song and they never come close to playing
it the same way twice. The one constant is the VOICE...PERIOD!!
I just put this up as an example to perhaps get you thinking
on your own in case you wanted to try it.
