Jefferson - Good Shepherd guitar tab

Subject: Re: Good Shepherd (Traditional) by Jefferson Airplane

o The following should help you get started. It's what I transcribed

from the record a while back; no guarantees of accuracy, etc. In

particular, I think the signature acoustic guitar riff (marked

"intro" below, but really runs through the whole song) is played by

two guitars, one or both of them in an open tuning. I think the

notes I have are right, but the voicings aren't.

o Also, I didn't tab the electric guitar lead part. It's fairly easy

to figure out and play.
