CBG Tabs
Information
So you built your CBG and now you need something to play on it, right? Well, if you're not completely musically inclined or can't read traditional music, tabs are your answer. If you're like me, you read tabs and sometimes make them. Paste'em here.

Tabs here is as a learning tool -- NOT for profit.
I'll also upload some blank tab sheets. Just let me know what you think and if I need to add anything.

Here's the TAB for "Fishin' Hole" (the Andy Griffith Show theme). You can find a recording of it on my page if you're not sure how it goes. I recorded it in E so you'll have to retune/transpose/capo it if you want to play along. Let me know if you find this kind of stuff useful/enjoyable.
