Going Home

Alvin Lee
Tab
4.3(8)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

GENERAL NOTES:

- () Indicates full bend

- [] Indicates slide, in this case with 3rd finger

SPECIFIC NOTES:

NOTE 1: This is one of Alvin Lee's trademark licks.

After playing the first note (A) with the 3rd finger

lay the 1st finger flat across the three treble strings

slide then hammer the next notes. It is a difficult

lick to master but well worth the practice required.

Rent the movie Woodstock and you can catch a glance of

the fingering.

NOTE 2: After playing the second note of this lick slide

down with the first finger to the 5th fret on the third string.
