Seasick Steve – Cut My Wings
From "Dog House Music", 2006
Tabbed by Ben Spiller
Played on red "Three-String Trance Wonder" electric guitar, which is tuned to GGB.
Also works well on a 6-string in Open G tuning (as it's an open tuning, the additional strings sound pretty
fine if hit accidentally). With a reasonable amount of overdrive.
Strum with fingers don’t finger-pick; no use of slide except in solo.
[Intro]
Now we gonna get down on some 3 string TRANCE music here, gonna do it now...
