Slackjaw Jezebel

(início)

                             SLACKJAW JEZEBEL - Gov't Mule
Tabbed by: Timothy Todd
Email: *
Tuning: Eb Standard with Capo on second fret.
      or alternatively E Standard
Warren Haynes plays it tuned to Eb and with a capo on the 2nd fret, using many open
however, often when I play it I use just standard tuning. I've tabbed out the riff for both tunings.
Intro Riff (To switch it up and play more like Warren - substitute some of the notes for
stops or pinch harmonics from time to time)

1st Verse (Listen carefully for how he plays, until "Still something’s changed..” there
no chords played, but I just play the root notes and follow the bass part during the beginning)
