Intro to 'All my ex's live in Texas' - C6? Tab?

[Michael Lester]

For years I've been 'introing' this song in 'G' / C6 without pedals. It works passably well - until I listened to the original George Strait recording.

There's a whole lot more going on in the recording than I can find.

Has anybody tabbed it out?

[Bill McCloskey]

Actually Paul Franklin teaches it in his course.

[Gordy Rex]

This is what Paul posted years ago…....


The intro is played on the C6th tuning.

(s) = a slide to the next instruction without restriking the strings.

s = a very quick slide to the next instruction without restriking the strings.

~ = sustain
