Something For Beginners Improvers- With Backing Track

Post by John A. Russell »

Hey All

I was tabbing Jonathan Milligan's "Red River Valley" and
I thought I might do a version for Beginners/Improvers.

I have tried to include a version that uses all three pedals and the R/L levers too!

I have also tried to introduce moves that may not be familiar to Beginners/Improvers.

There is a backing track also, to make the learning more pleasant.

Anyone wanting a copy of the 7 page tablature, send me a request with your email address, to jrtablaturepsg@gmail.com.

This tab will run till the end of October.

Kind Regards

J.R.

Next Level Version for those who are more advanced

Post by John A. Russell »

I have had a huge response on this one already, in such a short space of time.

Any players who are more advanced: -
I have also done the Youtube version by Jonathan Milligan, give the performance a look.
