Take It Off The Top Chords & Tabs
TAKE IT OFF THE TOP (intro)
by The Dixie Dregs
Tabbed by: Rob Hunting (rsh911@psu.edu)
I noticed that there were no tabs anywhere of this great one, so I figured
I would give it a shot and transcribe a little bit of it to get started.
Hopefully, I will find the time and patience to tab the rest of it soon.
1. Standard Tuning
2. For the intro, on the bass notes, use all downstrokes when you are picking
the low E's, and scrape your thumb across the string on your follow through
while moving your hand progressively closer to the fretboard to sound like you
are playing lower and lower notes.
3. If you can help me out with the rest of the song that would be awesome, since
it's taken me forever to figure it out this much.
/ = slide
b = bend
r = release
() = optional note
~ = vibrato
