    It is advised to stay in the first position for the whole tune (1st LH finger at the 2nd fret). Do not change the left-hand position in bars #4 and # 14 to play at the first fret – just shift your first finger and use twice in a row. Once you learn the melody, use the lick switcher to develop your improvising skills.

More about Back Up And Push

Depending on the situation, the A part is sometimes played just once. The B part can even be skipped. For this reason you should listen closely to the leader if you hear this tune at a jam session. The chord progression is the same for all parts, so the chance of getting lost in the structure is low. Enjoy this one!

The Tunefox Beginner tab is focusing on accenting the melody notes of the vocal line. Intermediate arrangement features more 16th note up and down strokes than the beginner version and Advanced version adds some tasty melodic flare.
