 BROWN SUGAR INTRO
 
 
 There have been a few requests on the net for more "Stones stuff".
 
 I presume that means "Keith Richard". I would like to contribute
 
 with an attempt on the Brown Sugar Intro. In previous letters
 
 tabulatures were presented with more complex fingering - without
 
 retuning the instrument. The following is more straightforward.
 
 
 N.B. Open-G tuning is requiered. Through away your lower-D string
 
 if you are perticular about sounding like Keith does. X, Y, Z are the
 
 10th, 11th an 12th position. In hex that would be A, B, C but confusing
 
 to use.

 (etc...)
 
 
 I hope I got the timing right. (Too bad Emacs isn't connected to
 
 /dev/audio and programmed to play tabulature...)
