Artist: Ted Nugent
Song: Fred Bear
Tabbed by: John Leadman
The intro; Part 2 in this song for me, is kinda tricky to
play the way Ted does it. He picks the A string with a pick
and the B and high E strings with his middle finger. I found it
easier to use my thumb to pick the A string instead of
a pick. The problem with this is that the verses and chorus
requires strumming with a pick and I end up fumbling for my pick
when I need it to play them. Try to learn it using the pick
method if you can.
All of the notes in the second part of the intro and verses
are played very quickly and each note that
is played is quickly deadend by the next note played. The
only notes that are to ring are 3 notes in the second part of
the intro that I will identify with the letters (ri) after
each note. Also, all of Intro;Part 1 rings.
I'm going to tab the intro,verses,chorus,lead rhythm chords and
end of the song where Fred talks. I've never really tried to learn
the leads but I think they're played in D minor Pentatonic or
mabye D of Ted's world I'm not sure. Help me out if you know it,
I have alot of stupid attacks. Walk soft and shoot hard.
