Pony Boy tab by Allman Brothers

"Pony Boy" by the Allman Brothers Band
	 from the album "Brothers and Sisters"

     This song is in open E tuning and I believe
    the right hand part is fingerpicked while the
    the left hand is a combination of open string
    notes, slide guitar and harmonics. You will
    have to listen to the recording to figure it
    out. Here is the tab to the basic parts
    of the song and the rest is up to you as they
    say. My apologies for any errors and if anyone
	has any corrections please email me at
	     dmeta@quadro.net
    This is just a barebones tab as it is hard to
	notate all the slide pulloffs, hammerons,etc.
	but it should give you a general idea to what's
	happening.

	Guitar and Piano solo:-too much for me to tab but
	      a few hints. Call and answer licks are
          on the E chord centered around 3rd and
          twelfth fret.

	If you don't have the Allman Brothers "Brothers
		 and Sisters" with this song on it, go
        and buy it, you'll be glad you did.
    Arlen Roth's book "Traditional, Country and Electric
          Slide Guitar" published by Oak is a good
          instruction book for this style of playing.
