John Michael Montgomery - I Swear Tabs

"I Swear" Guitar Solo
Music by John Michael Montgomery


This is a dynamic solo that sounds elegant.
The video of me playing this can be seen here:  

I figured this out by ear - I make no guarantees this is 100% correct

Pay attention to timing in song, and work on smooth slides between notes

NOTE:  g.b. = ghost bend note to pitch indicated in parenthesis before 
striking note.

Enjoy!
