Winter Tab by The Rolling Stones

Winter tab by The Rolling Stones

Guitar Tab

Band: The Rolling Stones
Song: Winter
Album: Goats Head Soup
Year: 1973
Guitarists: Mick Jagger, Mick Taylor
Tuning: Standard

This song is a perfect example of Mick Taylor's melodic lead style. Taylor lays down all
the leads while
Jagger holds down a simple but effective rhythm. Some of the parts were hard to hear.
thing is pretty much spot on. It's
at least the best I could do with it. If not exactly PERFECT, you'll have the jist of
of the leads, anyway. Jagger
holds down the same chord patterns the whole song - very simple.

Listen to song for timing.
