"Blue Jean Blues"
by ZZ TOP

OK, here we have a ten-bar blues in Bminor. The song is written for
two guitars. (play it very slowly, the song takes almost
four minutes to get through about 40 bars of music).

Here is the rhythm guitar:

intro (play once)

---------3---|                                     |------------|


As for the lead guitar, it is played almost entirely on the B pentatonic
minor scale at the seventh fret. Since the song is so slow, most people
should be able to figure it out from the recording.

I guess that should do it.

Hey man good work on the first part, it's almost impossible to find this tab, however i was looking for the whole thing, maybe if you get a chance you could tab the rest of it.

yo back off the man he is just puttin up a tab! Anyways, this tab was usefull in that it gave me a base to work off and still be creative with the lead. (improvise in B MINOR instead of memorizing the acutal thing) PEACE
