Countrywide by Tommy Emmanuel

Tabs

COUNTRYWIDE
Artist: Tommy Emmanuel
Acoustic guitar solo

Transcription by: Glenn Kennedy ([email protected])

I've seen the version floating around on the internet at the moment for
this tune and I was disappointed with it so I wrote out a more accurate
version.

Standard tuning
4/4 time
Key of Chord diagramA augmentedA minor
Use a standard flat picking style for this tune - not fingerstyle.

INTRO: Strum open Chord diagramA minorAm chord for two phrases of four bars.

And that's it. Tommy plays the theme a few more times and does some
improvisation on the theme. He also does some improvisation on the
theme during the middle of the tune. Listen to the recording to
determine exactly when this is done.
