Don't Try This At Home chords

Brent Mason

Simplify chords 

  			Here's another tab of a Brent Mason tune that you can watch on YouTube (search there for Brent Mason.) 
I transcribed the main themes and the guitar solo of this fast blues jam. Mason plays single notes over 
the turnaround chords but I suggest you play the whole chord (unless you have a Hammond B-3 player hangin around.)  

\   -slide down 
/   -slide up 
b   -bend 
pb  -prebend 
h   -hammer 
p   -pulloff 
bh  -bend and hold 
r   -relax bend 
1   -whole step bend 
1/2 -half step bend  


 (lower strings muted)
