Subject: Righteous by Eric Johnson
"Righteous," written and recorded by Eric Johnson, from his 1990 album
Ah Via Musicom.
Transcribed in 4/4 time, but with a definite blues-shuffle feel.
Note: this is NOT the same as the Feb 1992 transcription by Guitar for the
Practicing Musician. That version - which was used for measure demarcation
and for verification of some of the faster solos - involves some rather
unusual chord positions, and has some different style marks (e.g., bends
or vibratos). This IS how I play it.
The only thing I ask in return for my hours of labor is that you let me know
if you're using the file. Write me at [email protected]. Enjoy...
Key:
This is typical tab, strings from high to low.
T = play with thumb
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
^ = bend ^q = quarter tone ^h = half tone ^F = full tone
if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
h = hammer
p = pull-off
g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
~ = vibrato
drum fill
