More specifically "Big City After Dark" anyone tried this one?...or any Link Wray in general? I have the CD "Rumble, "The Best of Link Wray" and this tune is in D. I can't figure out the turn around. D tuning perhaps? It's not likely that Link drop tuned is it? It was '62...?

Any info on "Deuces Wild" would be appreciated too!!

Are the tabs gone from this website? Were there any? I know there have been legal issues with some sites, etc.

Let me hear from you, I'm new here!

Hey, thanks a lot! Yes, they're fairly straigtforward tunes, I intend to learn both, and I'm simply looking for some insight..

Thanks!! You did drop to D then??? I'll do the same and see what I come up with. Great tune!!!

Actually strangley enough my guitar was already tuned to D.

Brian, I had tried the code bracket, but the tab was so long that it got all tangled up in itself. On another forum I've seen the code command scrolls left and right in it's on little window to remedy this.

see:

Try copying the first tab into Notepad--it reads much better than the coded/uncoded versions in this topic.

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

I figured out some of "Deuces Wild" not too long ago. Here's the main riff:

e|-----------------------------------------|  
B|-----------------------------------------|  
G|-2~-------------------------------2~-----|  
D|-2~----5/7~--5~---7-5-2~----------2~-----|  
A|-0~----3/5---3~---5-3-0~----------0~-----|  
E|---------------------------0-3p0---------|

Hope this helps,

What's your instrument and amp of choice these days?

Sounds like you've got a nice set-up. I have a Yamaha SGV 800:

... and a really crappy, underpowered practice amp.

That sounds pretty right on Springfield. Except note that isn't EADGBe.
Link's a total madman on this song, On that first little shred after the first power chords I came up with:

-5b-8--5--3h5p3-----  
--------------------  
----------------2--  
-------------------  
-------------------

Not much but maybe it could get one of you going in the right direction.

Those Yamaha's are snazzy. I play a jap-tar also, a much less known 4-pickup deal. My amp is "a really crappy, underpowered practice amp" also, a Pignose, but I'm in the process of building a Weber Pro 15".

Like most things that could have been prvented with a minimal amount of effort, I didn't bother to check after I copied the template from something I tabbed in standard.

I think I had figured out a few of the licks, too, but never got around to tabbing them. Just go wild in A and it'll sound close enough.

What other Way tunes do you guys play?:

Raw Hide, Run Chicken Run (both of which I had tabbed out in the old Yahoo group), Jack the Ripper, Rumble, The Black Widow ... Link's awesome. Outside of the Ramones, I doubt there's anyone I know how to play more songs by--which is both a testament to my horrible ear for learning things and my lack of ability on the instrument.
