LA GRANGE (ZZ TOP)
Today,5th June 99, I Tab out this tune from ZZ Top, who`s also one of my alltime
favorite Songs. Freddy sing it very well, i like the way he do it.This is a 
Fast Shuffle, so keep into the Groove, it`s very essential for this tune.



Intro:
  A5                  A7  Am      A5                 A7  Am
E--------------I--------------I--------------I----------------I
B--------------I--------------I--------------I----------------I

A--------------I----0-0-0---0-I--------------I----0----0---0--I
E--------------I--------------I--------------I----------------I

We play this little Intro 4 Times, and then Freddy enters with this spoken grumble Part, Yeah)
 
Rumour spreadin` around, in that Texas town
`bout that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I`m talking about
Just let me know if you wanna go
to that home out on the range
They gotta lotta nice girls,(Drums enter here) Have mercy!
Over this i play this 2 bar Part,pick it with my fingers,and less distortion.

After the Part when the drums and Bass entered, i play this figure with heavy distortion.

A haw haw haw haw A haw a haw haw haw
Well i hear it`s fine, if you got the time
and the ten to get yourself in a hmm hmm
and i hear it`s tight, most every night
but now I might be mistaken. hmm hmm hmm hmm
(here is a Drum Break, and let`s fall you into the Guitar Solo.Here is also
a change to another Chord Progression, who`s in C minor, and goes like that:
C5 I C5 Eb5 F5 I i donīt tab out the whole solo, just a few of licks i played
over this progression. So enjoy it, and get your own ideas.

  C5                               Eb5    F5        C5                       Eb5   F5
E-----------------I-8-----------------------------I--------------------I-------------------I
B-11^b1-^^^^^^^^--I---11-8-11p8----8--------------I--------------------I-------------------I
G-----------------I-------------10---8----10-8----I--------------------I-------------------I
D-----------------I--------------------10------10-I-10--------8--------I-10-------8--------I
A-----------------I-------------------------------I------8-10---10p8-6-I-----8h10---10p8-6-I
E-----------------I-------------------------------I--------------------I-------------------I


  C5                                        Eb5  F5   C5                               Eb5  F5            
E-----------------------------------I----------------I-----------------------I-------------------I
B-11----11----11----11--------------I----------------I-----------------------I-------------------I
G----12----12----12----10-8b1/2-----I----------------I-----------------------I-----------------8-I
D--------------------------------10-I------8---------I-----------------------I------8-10----10---I
A-----------------------------------I-8s10---8-6-8-6-I-----------6---6-8-6-8-I-8h10------10------I
E-----------------------------------I----------------I-8---8-6h8---8---------I-------------------I

  C5                                            Eb5  F5     C5  (and then comes the Turnaround, bring
E--------------------------------I------------------------I----------------
B-----11----11----11----11----11-I-----11----11-----------I----------------
G-s12----12----12----12----12----I-s12----12----10-8------I----------------
D--------------------------------I-------------------10-8-I--10------------
A--------------------------------I------------------------I----------------
E--------------------------------I------------------------I----------------

back to the Main Chord Progression in A. Repeat the Turnaround 2 times.

 NO CHORD
E-----5---5---5-I-----5---5---5-I---5---5---5-I--------------------I
B---------------I---------------I-------------I--------------------I
G---------------I---------------I-------------I---------2----------I
D-4s5---5---5---I-2s4---4---4---I-3---3---3---I---------2----------I
A---------------I---------------I-------------I-0-0-3h4----0-3p0-0-I
E---------------I---------------I-------------I--------------------I

And now, do the same as shown in the beginning, first play with less distortion,
and after the Drums and Bass fell into, play the second Solo. I use in this Solo
only one Scale, the A minor Pentatonic Scale, and change between different Positions
of the Scale. So get into the groove and crank up your Guitar.
