This week I'm looking at a fantastic instrumental take on the country classic Ghost Riders in the Sky. It's a version by guitarist Neil Levang that I came across whilst browsing through YouTube videos. I thought it sounded great, so I obviously had to figure it out and turn it into a video. Here's a link to the original performance by Levang -

I've tabbed it out below. It seemed to be easiest to read if I notated it in 2/2 time so that's what I've done.

The backing is also to be found below. I've added a 4 beat count at the start. One of the slightly tricky things here is getting the gaps right between the phrases. You'll either need to just feel it by getting super familiar with the original recording, or you can study the tab and count bars and beats.

Have fun with it!

Hope you enjoy learning this one.

Speak next week,

Adrian
