Title: Drive On - guitar parts
Song written by Dave Baxter
Guitar part by Dave Baxter and by Strahan Cole
Copyright: Copyright © 2011
Here is the tab for all the lead guitar parts as played live. It changes only slightly
from the recorded version.
I don't think I need to put times for most these parts because the guitar part is pretty
easy to hear in the mix.
Intro: (not on the recording. Maybe really quiet on violin? Live this is played by both
guitar and violin.)
Play 2x, then verse starts.
4/4
