Flake Solo Ben Harper Slide Guitar Chords & Tabs
Flake Solo Ben Harper Slide Guitar Tab
Jack Johnson's "Flake"
Yes, this is the Ben Harper Slide Guitar Solo from Flake- normally
tuned DADDAD with a 4th fret capo- but to save on snapped strings,
I transcribed it over to standard tuning with capo on 1st fret.
Enjoy you mad dogs!
Capo on 1st Fret. Tab relative to capo
For those of you that can count music, the funky rhythm is added
in below.
