RORY GALLAGHER: LAUNDROMAT

Here are some suggestions for Laundromat, one of my Gallagher-
favourites. The tab contains the main riff (during the song in
minor, towards the end in major), the chorus, the bridge and
the great solo.
I added the solo part to the former version. Ensure in most
cases that, if you come from the B-string down to the G-string
14th fret, you hit the G-string with your pinky. So you get
your fingers in the right position to finger first the 12th,
then the 11th fret on the G-string.
