Don't Come Back Knocking - Buddy Holly
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Buddy Holly
Don't Come Back Knocking (1955)
(Buddy Holly/Sue Parrish)
Now on: "Down the Line - Rarities [CD 1]"
This is what I could figure out. The chords are of course not always plain
major chords, sometimes you have to add the 7 or 6. The solos are not
exactly what Holly plays but it's at least close. I can't really make up my
mind whether the guitar on the recording is finger-picked or not. In this
case some notes add themselves naturally to the main line I tabbed below.
Even though there are some imperfections here and there, I'm especially
dissatisfied with bar 10 of SOLO 1. I hear two notes played simultaneously
there but I can't figure out how to play them. Must be some special
Rockabilly voicing that I just don't know. Do you? Comments and corrections
are highly welcome!
