Big And Rich - Radio Chords & Tabs

Big & Rich
Radio
Tabbed By: Jeff Lalonde
Date: 09/13/09

-----------------------------------

This is my first tab, ever. I'm pretty sure that the tab's close enough to
be convincing. I did my best to get all the fills and even the harmonized
solo bits - even though that harmony isn't done with a guitar.

-----------------------------------

Legend:

X: Palm mute open chords or the last chords you were playing
/: Slide up to the indicated note
\: Slide down off the indicated note
P: Pull off the first indicated note to the second
~: Vibrato
(x): Don't let the note/chord ring
Let Ring: Let those notes ring off into oblivion
