DAVE MATTHEWS BAND - "all along the watchtower" Tablature

Official DAVE MATTHEWS BAND Tablature & Sheet Music »

Song: All Along The Watchtower
Band: Dave Matthews Band
Album: Reccently, Live At Red Rocks, Listener Supported, various
Origanal Version: Bob Dylan
Other Versions: Jimi Hendrix, Greatful Dead, U2, Indigo Girls

Notes: This transcript is the skeleton of the song. Every recording
of it is different because DMB always improvs during shows. If you
play this for most the parts the only real thing you need to worry
about is the solo section. There's always something different there.
Violin, sax, or sometimes Tim Reynolds joins and throws in a guitar
solo. You could do tons of stuff with that, just make something up
that sounds cool and impress your friends. The final verse section
is normally played loudly with the verse, then on it's own without
the band, and quietly during the solo section and final verse, then
loudly again for the outro.
