George Strait - Give It Away - Lick guitar tab

GIVE IT AWAY

Written by Bill Anderson, Buddy Cannon, and Jamey Johnson

This song is pitched in the key of F but the opening lick

sounds like familiar bluesy E patterns so the guitar is

either tuned up a half-step or capo'd at Fret-1.

GUITAR-1:

1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1

E|-2h3p2-0---------------------------|---- h = hammer on

B|---------3-0-----------------------|---- p = pull off

G|-------------3-2-0-----0-----------|---- b = 'blues' bend (1/4 tone)

D|-------------------2p0---0-2-------|----

A|-----------------------------2-----|---- d = down pick

E|-------------------------------3-b-|-0-- u = up pick

d(u) d u d u d u d(u)d u d u d

Consistent sixteenths pattern requires cross-picking

index finger at fret-2

middle finger at fret-3

GUITAR-2:

1 e + a 2 + 3 + 4 e +

E|---------------------------------|

B|---------------------------------|

G|---------------------------------|

D|-0h2---2-----2-------2-----------|

A|---------------------------------|

E|---------------------------3-3---|
