Topic: New Tab Postings
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Swamp Music" appeared on the band's second album Second Helping (1974, pictured). This double-platiunum selling album is most noted for featuring the band's biggest hit, "Sweet Home Alabama". The album peaked at #12 on Billboard. "Swamp Music" has also been featured on many Skynyrd compilation/greatest hits albums, such as Skynyrd's Innyrds (1989), What's Your Name (1997), and The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd (1998).Second Helping was the first of their albums to feature the three guitar attack that became a signature of the band's sound. In various parts of "Swamp Music" you can hear three guitar parts being played at the same time. I've kept the tab to two guitar parts, though, for the sake of clarity. (Sometimes just trying to follow a double-staffed part is confusing enough without getting into triple-staffing.) And even with two guitar parts it makes for a long tab. There's plenty going on in this song, so the biggest challenge was trying to separate the guitar parts, and figure out what each one was playing.

I seriously had my doubts at first.
