Ted Nugent - Great White Buffalo guitar tab

>If you're looking for a Nuge riff, this is probably the one you want.

>First cut at a transcription was posted by Dean Coss com>, however it was inaccurate and a bit unwieldy in position and

>note choice. Nugent plays this as an open position pentatonic riff,

>and uses open D and A chords. Besides being easier to play this way

>when you're running around in a loin cloth, Nugent appeared as himself

>on an episode of That 70's Show playing it this way, so I can guarantee

>the open position fingering is correct. Don't use pull-offs for the

>main descending riff, you want a chunkier sound, so coordinate the

>pick and left hand index finger. It's a good riff, enjoy...

>That's basically it. I've indicated a rest note with a "." to show the

>timing of the riff, i.e. there is a slight pause after hitting the 4th

>string 2nd fret E, and to draw attention to this point in the riff. On

>the studio recording, the the rest note is sometimes replaced with a 2,

>that is, play "2 2 2" instead of "2 pause 2". That's for the anal

>retentive who want to play it absolutely note for note, and have a bit

>more fun alternating the riff as done on the original recording. On the

>Double Live Gonzo live version, Ted doesn't bother with this. Don't

>forget to bend the low G note slightly for that authentic twang (and

>don't forget the one right before the repeat). Play it loud, or don't

>play it at all. :)
