Pick Up The Pieces tab by Average White Band
Guitar Tab
"Pick Up the Pieces" artist:Average White Band album:AWB(Atlantic Records 1974) transcription:Dan May/DBMay75@aol.com This Scotland band's classic funk/r&b instrumental was #1 on the pop charts and #5 on the r&b charts in October 1974, just two months after the album's release. I can't dicipher exactly how many guitars were used, but nevertheless, I've listed all parts for both guitars, starting with the left channel. Naturally, depending on your string gauge tone of your amp, you can shift certain parts to different positions(particularly the A section for gtr. 2 can be played on the A string/1st position instead of the E string/6th position). I haven't learned to write rhythm patterns on here yet, so if you don't have the CD handy to play along with, go out and get it. Enjoy! clean electric standard tuning key:Fm7
