Classical Gas Chords & Tabs
classical gas - tommy emmanuel
tabbed by tom kelly
this is the live classical version so i don't know if you have the same one
or not. its the only one i have. riff one and 2 are about the same in every
version though, and i think you have to use your fingers for this one. its
pretty much impossible to play properly otherwise.
^ is hammer on or pull off
/ or \ is slide up or down
~ is hold note
