Stray Cat Strut - Stray Cats
---------------
Here is Brian Setzer's masterpiece (lyrically and musically)... tabbed!
There are some missing bits, but I think it's about 95% correct. I'm also
pretty sure I've added stuff in that shouldn't be in as well, the bass intro
is obvious one... Threw in the rock chords instead!
Another good idea is to listen to the CD for the timming, especially the
vibrato bits.
/ slide up;
slide down;
* between asterisks play as fast as you can!
~ vibrato;
p pull off;
h hammer;
v strum downwards;
^ strum upwards;
Basically the main guitar solos are as follows...
