RED & WHITE
by Leo Kottke

transcribed by brian j robinson (nairbnosnibor@hotmail.com)
from Leo Kottke/Peter Lang/John Fahey

-six-string
dropped D tuning-
(pitches raised up a bit on album,
or maybe my guitar was just out of tune)

*= harmonic note (in measure 80)
h= hammer-on to the next note shown
p= pull-off to the next note shown
b= bend to the next note shown
(All the ^Ónext notes^Ô are NOT picked, obviously)

🎸

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

-there are some VERY slight variations in the sections that are repeated
throughout the song, but they are hardly noticable, since the song is played
so fast
-check out tabpigs.org for good kottke tabs, i've submitted
a couple songs there, but most are done by the "tabpigs", a group
of leo fans
