Its Five O’Clock Somewhere	Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet		
Key: D		Drop-D tuning

O.K. folks.  I was surprised to find no full tab of the lead to this beauty on
this site, so I gave it a go.  Feel free to offer corrections.  If I find some 
time, I’ll try to post the rest of the guitar parts for the talking part at the 
end of the song.

u can't its brent mason like i said earlier he is the king]\
-carterstrat | 11/9/2003
or he is jsut really good and ur not going to sound like him.
how do u konw that is what he is useing

-carterstrat | 11/9/2003
yal are both wrong he's using a summit dual compression limiter.
-johnct4279 | 11/14/2003
iknew he was using a tele i never said he was using a strat. and yeah we are right brent mason plays the guitar on the album and all he plays is a tele
-carterstrat | 11/19/2003
hes use a fender tube amp, that help give you his tone, i think hes use a lindy fraylin pick-up, i know brad paisley uses one. A boss compressor and a little reverb from tube amp. Brent mason uses a fender hotrod tube amp it was featured in guitar player magazine one time. that how i have my tele set up and it has the right tone to me, but using a tube amp is the key.
-teletak341 | 11/26/2003
Brent uses alot of different guitars and amps but for most of the
Alan Jackson stuff he uses his main guitar, a 1968 tele with a
Gibson mini humbucker in the neck, a Seymour Duncan stack in the
middle and Seymour Duncan vintage P/U in the bridge. The amp he
uses in this type of song is a Fender Delux Reverb with a
Compression pedal, a Delay and a Chorus pedal.
Most of your tone comes from yourself and Brent is "THE MAN".
I hope this helps you out.

By the way,this is a nice tab, Keep Pickin'

-txjonc | 12/7/2003
why do you say that is it drop-d tuning, but your tabs have the low string at E?
-mjmckinney | 12/7/2003
Good call on me labeling the E string with E rather than D for the drop-D tuning. That's my mistake. The song definitly is played in drop-D. I've done this on several other songs that I've submitted as well...
-dbeaverboner | 12/8/2003
hey txjonc how do u no he is using a fender deluxe reverb amplifier
-johnct4279 | 5/2/2004
