Daniel, guitarist/music editor Happy Traum tabbed out Arlo's guitar intro for "Ring Around The Rosy Rag" in This Is The Arlo Guthrie Book (Collier Books, 1969). The book is, sadly, out-of-print now, but perhaps you can find a copy on one of the auction sites or at a university library or from a used book dealer.

Oh, OK. I think I've heard of that book, thanks for the idea! :)

I was trying to figure out the chords for "Which Side", and this site says that it's Bm A G A. However, G Am G F sounds more accurate to me. Any guitar players out there who know what it really is?

Am G F Sounds better (or Bm A G capo 2nd fret) but it's early and I haven't had any coffee yet

Arlo, I hope that's Folger's you're gonna have. By the way, have you seen the Nissan tv commercial that uses WWG's "Riding in the Car" song as a backdrop?

Hi Arlo - UNFORTUNATELY is right!! I hate those coffee makers with that coffee they give you!! Never tastes like coffee to me!! When I stay in Great Barrington for the Church shows, I always go out in the morning to Friendly's for coffee -- it's not great but better than the motel!! Give me a starbucks any day~~ :lol: See ya at the Church in a few weeks!!

Yeah their coffee is awful, but the Folgers ad we did years ago was the single most important reason we were able to buy the church. So more power to 'em as long as there's some decent stuff nearby. :)

:lol: Gooood Coffee. One more reason for you to come over to Europe. I'll brew you a nice cappuccino and they have Starbucks over here, too.
:)
But to come back to the guitar tabs. I'd be grateful if someone could give me the tabs to "Walkin' down the line".

Wow, all this touring around and moving from motel to motel, and he still finds time to check and respond to these messages! Thanks Arlo! :)

I've been enjoying a pot of Kona coffee today...I admit to being a coffee snob.

the ads make it sound delicious though... my dad loves taster's choice and carnation nondairy creamer (either that or half n half)

i'm proud to it :)

I bet ADG can't function without his am cup of coffee lol. I think is is so funny that the Folgers pitchman doesn't even like their coffee lol. The first time I saw that ad I was like that sounds like Arlo singing. Am I going nuts? LOL! Speaking of Alices, I figured out how to play that on mountain dulicimer. Arlo oughta try that sometime. That'd be neat. :)

The coffee must have been terrific when "Outlasting the Blues" was made. It's still my favourite album of all times.
Which Side is in Bm on the record, which is why I tried to write it that way in the tabs section of this site. :? But Daniel, I think you should play it in Am if it sounds better. Even adg agrees on that. :oops:
