Guitar Tabs

The following is a list of tabs that I have practiced. Some of them I can actually play. They are all relatively easy, and a good place for any beginner to start. Check out Chordie for some more guitar tabs. If its lessons you are looking for, check out what David Hodge has to offer at Guitar Noise.

The Beatles - Happy Birthday.txt

This was from the Beatles' double album that showed that after Sgt
Peppers and Magical Mystery Tour and the meditation in India, that
they could still play rock `n' roll. A lot of the songs on the white album
were written in India and recorded with only about 2 of the Beatles present.
This song is an example of that with a catchy riff to go with it.
