John Butler Trio - Media (Live Solo)
Transcribed by - Timothy Atkinson (timage@gmail.com)
Tuning - Open C (CGCGCE)
Capo - 5th Fret


Key:
~ = let ring
h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide
b = bend



This is the solo to Media found on the Zebra single. It's not exact,
mainly because in the actual song the solo-ing
is done on the high C string, but since my 12-string isn't a cut away,
i had to do it on the high E as you can see
here. Pretty good none-the-less though. If you want the rest of the
song, you can find the studio tab version that
i tabbed out last year, not as good since i sucked back then, but you
can improvise.


For this tab, i've left out most of the strumming, but included the
frets you have to play when strumming, so you'll
pick it up easy. Don't forget to play heaps of open strings. :)
