Fluxology

I decided to tab this break for two reasons. First it displays fingerings for the key of E, and secondly because it demonstrates something I don't normally see in many flatpickers - the decision NOT to play open strings when available. Tony elects to keep the solo punchy by fretting the big strings between the 5th - 10th frets. He only plays open strings when he has to and finalizes the end of the solo by using open strings for a shift in feel. I think it makes for a good lesson is tastefulness. This is from Jerry Douglas' album "Fluxology" recorded in 1979
