I'm 90+% sure this is right and i have parts to play thru the whole song
but not every guitar part so i hope u enjoy learning to play "Teacher" by
the great band Jethro Tull
I made this tab (my first) because i wanted to learn this song and ultimate
guitar didnt have it so i learned it by ear, watching jethro tull play it
live on youtube, and watched the lead guitar part of a cover of this song on youtube.
if theres a problem comment on it i'll check it out and fix it if
needed.
Thanks,
T-struck1065

Solo 2:01-2:29 because i'm tabbin this for 1 guitar so i'll add the rhythm
part as the lead guitar along with the solo. this makes it easier if you're
playing it in front of an audience and only have one guitarist

notes in brackets may be played by the bass i'm not sure, they're not easy
to hear and prally doesn't need to be played but i put them there bc theyre
in the song and i figured them out
