HIGHWAY 29 By Bruce Springsteen (From the album "The Ghost of Tom Joad") Note: This is a wonderful song that isn't too tough to play, once you get the picking pattern down. For ease of play (I'm not sure if Bruce does this or not, but I suspect it due to the sound of the fill before the last verse) tune the low E up to an F. This will make the piece much easier to play than doing full barres for the F.
