Does anyone have the correct E9 tabs for "sleepwalk" I have listened and tried several different versions and the intro on all of then hasn't sounded quite right to me. I am pretty sure the correct intro chords are C-Am-Fm-G7 C-Am-F=G7 Tks: Jim

Jim, ignore that last chord on the chart (D). To make a chord sustain in BIAB you have to place an unrelated chord where ever you want the sustained chord to end.

Tks Ricky but the part I am trying to duplicate exactly is what I believe you are referring to as the harmonic intro, just prior to your 3-5-12-7 on the 4th string. By the way, give 13-15-22-17 on the first string a try for the start and see if you like it better. Tks: Jim

Jim,

Ricky's palm harmonic intro should be right. Just do the harmonic w/ your palm on the 15th fret and you're in business.

Dean, the "a" indicates engaging the A pedal on a pedal steel.
