Jessica instrumental by David Summers,tab by Mike Sullivan

Post by Michael Sullivan »

I recently discovered David Summer's instrumental for "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers Band. This is an excellent song to work on, it will challenge your blocking technique and keep you on your toes since the notes go by so quickly. To make it sound clean and tight you'll need to practice at a slower speed and work up to tempo, but I'm sure you'll enjoy playing it. Here is the tablature that I came up with, the YouTube video can be found at

The tablture is free, all I ask is that when you watch the video, please write a short note to David Summers if you enjoyed it. Thank you.

Thank you Cartwright for the recommendation. I was asked by a friend to tab David Summers version and so I shared it with the steel guitar community. Hearing this other version has inspired me to do the same, thank you for the link.

Fantastic job from David! I had it also tabbed out before, but not as good as you did. The tempo of the tune is to fast for me.
