Anyone have a tab for the intro to the Burrito Bros version of "Close Up The Honky Tonks"?

Thanks!

I know it and could tab some of it out for you. Is there a particular part? It can be played on E9...but if I'm not mistaken...S.Pete played a B7 tuning???

Is that version very different than the Buck Owens version?

Yes. Very different. But the tab to Buck's recording is appreciated as well I'm sure. I'll send along the Burrito version by morning. Can't do it right now as I'm on my way to watch Rick Schmidt play his regular Friday afternoon to early evening gig with The Cowboy Rangers.Maybe do a little singing.

Check out the version Dwight Yoakam does on his album Dwight Sings Buck. Outstanding!

I will do that Steve. It's 10:00 am here in California and I'm still working on my first cup of coffee and trying to recover from last night's shenanigans which began with watching and sitting in with The California Rangers ( Rick Schmidt plays with them ). Give me just a few hours.

And by the way...the Dwight version is very classy. And the production is great! Dwight's recordings never disappoint.

Here is the intro to the Burritos recording of "Close Up The Honkytonks" from their "Anthology" cd. At the top instead of the open 3 and 5 strings, I prefer to stay on strings 5 and 6 with the A and B pedals down, but this is closer to the actual recording. Also for fun and if you want to incorporate some practice blocking and "string jumping", replace the lowering a half tone of string 4 in the end passage with the 2nd string at 5, and 1st string at 5 instead of raising the 5th string with the c pedal. Sneaky Pete's stuff is always fun. His tuning was B7 I believe. Hope this all makes sense. It's my first offering to the forum.

I also play it
