Read All About It tab by Bert Jansch

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Read All About It
Album: From the Outside
Tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 1st fret

This is a nice little number and reasonably easy to play; there are various fingering
possibilities you could use as an alternative to some of these, for example the D minor and A
minor riffs in the second section can be played either as barres or in open position at some
points. I'm not a big fan of full barres due to my skinny fingers so I generally go for the
open option when I can! Experiment. This is basically the 1st verse tabbed; the intro and the
other verses are the same material with a few minor variations (which you'll probably end up
doing yourself anyway). Have fun :o)

Rhythm = 4/4
