I posted a transcription of Bela Fleck’s Sunset Road in standard notation (and here’s my recording of it). I’ve since heard that a lot of you would like to see a version in guitar tab.

Here you go!

I did some testing and guess what: My little blog is the 8th hit when you search for that phrase! I find that pretty amazing.

The truth is, up until now that “transcription” has been in my head and I had never recorded the song or written down how to play it on guitar. Well this weekend I got around to doing both.

Here’s a recording of the song: Sunset Road

And here’s the transcription in PDF format. The transcription is pretty much just the basic shell of the song so you can get an idea of what the chord fingerings are like, but it’s meant to be expanded upon as you can hear in the recording.
