Ryan Adams - Answering Bell Ukulele

There are quite alot of versions of the song
and the album version is different to the video.
This tab tries to show how the studio version of
the 'Gold'-Album is played.

I think the intro is actually played by a banjo and
a guitar but you can easily play both at a time
(and on a guitar only) but it leads to a lot of
possibilities it can be played, because you can the
B and G play on the B and G string ("fret 0") but then you
have to pick one string twice in a row on different frets,
or you can play it on the G and D string (fret 4 and 5)
and you can grab it sometimes better like as grabbing a
chord. The way i play it is a mix, but you can do
whatever fits best to your hand.
