Play Something Country by Brooks & Dunn has an AWESOME riff that repeats throughout the song and I would LOVE to learn it! I haven't seen it on any of the tab sites yet and was wondering if anyone here plays it?

Thanks

It looks like Country Tabs has it. I didn't register (which you must do to get the tabs), but they've got it listed. Might want to check it out.

There's another country site something like cowpile.com that has a lot of country tabs.

Mike, it's a TAB site so it should be tabs. Free to register so go for it

I was going to register, but I've been so busy at work today I haven't had the chance. Plus our Internet has been slow today (my company goes through Houston for our access, and everything has been crazy down there). I believe the file did have a .tab extention though, and as Nils said it's free to register. I'm going to sign up tonight at home though, so I'll look then.

Well I joined with the free membership but there is also a premium one. There is supposed to be popup ads but I use firefox and it stops them. You can only get 45 tabs per month so make sure you know what you want to get. Also you can't copy or paste with the free membership...I think if you disable javascript in your browser you can get around this...so I used a screencapture program to take a picture of the tab. Plus you can't access the printable versions of the tab...

A lot of limitations but they do have a TON of tabs..

Both? :D Joking man. I've not heard this song by Brooks and Dunn so I haven't anything to compare to. Although the clip didn't sound bad.

I dont like the song much, but I do like the dancers in the video. But your guitar sounds pretty much like the song. I think I would play it using the second and third strings instead of just the third. Would be less hand movement.

Sounds good

Thanks everyone...geoo, what do you mean? The tab I have only has the third string. There is one other tab that uses 2 strings but several people said it isn't as good. Plus it is ALOT more challenging to play. To go through all that and find out it sounds terrible :x :x !

If you know of another way I am all ears!

Thanks!

Hey Mike. No one said it soounded bad. It actually sounded pretty good. The suggestion was to play the 2 string version which may be easier to play and sound even better.

I didn't mean anyone on HERE said it sounded bad. On the tab site where I got this from in the comments section several people said this verison was better sounding.

I played it the way your post had it written out, and then I played it the same but using the second string rather than going up the neck and it was easier for me that way. I wish I knew how ot write it out in tab but I dont. Maybe someone else can explain it better... but then again you way sounds great the way it is.
