Walk On Boy Live by Doc Watson Artists:Doc and Richard Watson Album: Three Pickers (Live) Tabbed by: Marcus Ryan Jan.2nd 2006 I'm not much into bluegrass but this one is great. Everything but the solos was taken from a tab by Pancake (whereabouts unknown). On the live album they play with capos on the 2nd fret, and the chords are available on the internet. There are a few other short riffers thrown in the song, but they can be figured out if you can learn these runs.
