As everyone can see, this, TAAB, was not done by me. I've played it
this way and it sounds very close to the recording.
Here's a list of some other stuff that I've collected, mostly from
alt.guitar.tab and rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature:
Jethro Tull - 1 White Duck /
Jethro Tull - Look into the sun
Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud
Jethro Tull Tab (assorted stuff)
Jethro Tull- Cheap Day Return
Jethro Tull- TAAB
Jethro Tull-Aqualung (Note: I think that these three versions all
contain some slight variations of the song. I'm not sure which, if any
is correct, as I play it my own way.)
Jethro Tull-Aqualung.tab
Jethro Tull-AqualungII
Jethro Tull-Bouree.bass
Jethro Tull-Deadbeat
Jethro Tull-DownAtTheEndOfYour
Jethro Tull-DunRingill.crd
Jethro Tull-LifeIsALongSong
Jethro Tull-LocomotiveBreath
Jethro Tull-MotherGoose.tab
Jethro Tull-Nursie.tab
Jethro Tull-sossity.tab
Please post to the group if you're interested in seeing these posted.
