that's nice man... but is the intro the E-D slide?? i get confused with it... -J-MR | 5/27/2004 |
Excellent job on the tab. Way to take the intiative and post it too.
One thing I find sounds good as well in this song is to play a G power chord, instead of an E, after the D-E slide in the last two lines of the chorus. -macneildrag | 5/31/2004 |
I thought it was funny that people who dislike this song soooo much were even looking at the tab. I don't mind it so much. Besides, their dancers are HOT!! ;O) Great job, maing...
-debeck | 6/2/2004 |
I agree that it's kind of a goofy song. When you watch Big and Rich, you can see that they don't take themslves too seriuosly, and I think country music is still safe. I must admit though the song is a "guilty pleasure" of mine. Thanks for the tab.
-DaveScott | 6/2/2004 |
larry, you're doing us all a great favor by doing these tabs and the majority appreciates the effort. no matter what the song is. so thanks.
-srpettew | 6/3/2004 |
Great Song!....If this song dosent get ya up off your feet nothin will ...either you get it or you dont....Awesome live performance on the country music awards......Easy on the tabsters....last I checked this was still an imperfect world ....so lighten up ..and ...."SAVE A HORSE..!!!!....RIDE A COWBOY!
-cecilcat | 6/3/2004 |
HAHAHA-- Thanks Larry, for all the work you do-- This song is NEW country, not GOOD country
-okranchhand | 6/7/2004 |
hey, just to change the tune a little, I have recently chosen to buy a new acoustic guitar and I have done some research on it but I can't seem to find one that I could see myself buying within a reasonable price range. I would appreciate some ideas on which acoustic would be a good choice thanks
-dwh1587 | 6/17/2004 |
ill give ya my opinion. Im takamine all the way. I play one...its acoustic/electric, so it was a lil more expensive, but its awesome. My grandad went with the bass player in my band to pick it out and they said they played hundreds of guitars but that this one had the best sound. It sounds great for my band which is bluegrass, and it sounds awsome one any kinda of country. Watch cmt sometime...toby plays takamine's....darryl worley does...garth even has his own model of the takamine. They are great guitars...go to a store pick one up and give it a try...if ya dont like it, then ya dont have to buy it.
-cntyotlw | 6/17/2004 |
can someone help me out what are the bar chords for e d and a thanks -jgod | 6/23/2004 |
hey this song rocks but can some one tab out rollin by big and rich -bigandricher90 | 6/23/2004 |
great work. nice job. you the man. I agree with you. it is hard enough to tab the song but then to have someone jump all over the little stuff does get tiring. These tabs are more then less aimed at the masses so they can be played. a D or a D7??? who really cares to nitpick. most of us derive whats feels right from each chord anyways! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. Jason
-cntrypicker | 7/9/2004 |
hey dwh1587 go for a fender acoustic, or if you feel like spendin some cash get a martin,personally, I play a samick, I am really really happy with it, and it sounds excellent..
awesome tab too, i am really glad to see that someone out there appreciates new GOOD country
-guitarsmark | 7/20/2004 |
Ok Acoustic electric guitar Play an Alverez befor you buy anything then Play a Martin and samick make like 70% of acustic guitars so if you buy anything besides a taylor alverez or martin buy a samick oh yea with price being a problem it cuts out gibson and taylor
-stocldcwby | 7/23/2004 |
Guitarsamark - sorry - this isn't "good" country - it's what's wrong with radio today - this whole Muzic Mafia thing is trash and will ruin country music further than it ever has been. The good thing is I don't listen to mainstream country anymore. I went and saw an artist that SHOULD be on the radio last night - Dale Watson - if you ever get a chance to see him, DO NOT MISS IT.
-lmofle | 7/24/2004 |
Thanks for the tab, I've been looking for it since it came out with no luck! As far as the country or not country comments are concerned, I think Hank Sr./Jr., G. Jones, The Hag, and certainly Jerry Reed would be the first ones to say how classic in your face country this song is!!!
-advantage | 7/24/2004 |
I very strongly dissagree with you -dwh1587 | 7/31/2004 |
This is as far from GEORGE JONES as you can get. -WildCard76 | 8/3/2004 |
great tab, don't listen to the one's that complain, your doin' an excellent job.
-alan.eltringham | 8/4/2004 |
hey dwh1587, if u want a good acoustic electric for a nice price with a different sound then any other, go for ovation celebrity i have one and i love it, also takamine is great for priceing too. .. also this song is very much country, whether people want it to be or not, merle haggard, david allen coe, waylon jennings, they would all love this song because its stands out it doesn't follow the rule book and thats what makes certain bands great... just because it has a heavy guitar lead, and stronger sound doesn't make it not country, just listen to the lyrics -likwid | 8/6/2004 |
Nice try but you are wrong. First of all its in drop D and its a D-E slide and a G-A slide. The other thing is where are the banjo and guitar solo parts? Those are the hard parts, thats what you need to put up! -krc5505 | 8/6/2004 |
Listen to the Big n Rich CD, not just the radio and you'll never say they ain't country again
-bigski14 | 8/19/2004 |
Re: Questions about intro, it sounds like open E and A chords with emphasis on strings OTHER than tonic like this...
E= x00 x22 A= xx00 xx22, etc.
(krc5505's drop tuning theory explains why you cant hit the E & A)
And re: you little discussion, this is NOT country, but I dont care. And yes Hank Jr. is how we ended up here... Further, rap and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are why guys like this dont even try to release these kinds of records to so-called rock radio anymore... its a pop record and there are songs on there that sound like everything including Gene Autry and the Beatles.. I like it. but it ain't Country -georgeb1954 | 8/19/2004 |
Hey... I think krc5505 is right about the drop tuning... the intro is way too low to be in the 5/7 fret range as specified in the tab... but nobody is going to play the banjo part... or use the drop tuning, very much.. -georgeb1954 | 8/19/2004 |
SAVE A HORSE RIDE A REDNECK!!! -gtrfrk11 | 8/25/2004 |
If you're looking for a decent acoustic at a more than reasonable price, go for a Yamaha. I've had one for 10 years. It was my first acoustic and it still sounds as sweet as it did 10 years ago and still holds a tune extremely well. The action is low enough that learning is easy. Just my opinion. I also own an Ovation, a Gibson, a Takamine and a Martin. Martin's the top of the list, Takamine a close #2.
-jlockard1 | 8/30/2004 |
WHAT GUITAR TO BUY?....first of all, i would love to say thanks for the chords to this song...THEIR AWESOME....but to the person asking about a decent guitar...i second the takamine...i own a jasmine and it's really beautiful soundin'...and best of all IT WAS ONLY $100....best of luck, darlin!
-lilgeetar | 8/31/2004 |
Hi'yall. First off I love this song, finnaly we have something we can dance too! Secondly dont bag people for the music they like. Last of all to the guy who cant decide which acoustic to buy if you have a little extra I strongly recommend takamine guitars. I record with them, play them live and I cant play anything else now that i have become acusomted to how good they are. If would like to ask me a bit more just email me at alpinestars_28@hotmail.com and I will be happy to point out some great guitars for you. SAVE A HORSE, RIDE A COWBOY!!! -wrangler_man | 9/2/2004 |
Well I have to agree that this is a long way from "true" country music. But thats what they said about Shania Twain and didn't that just ruin her whole career.
I don't think it paticularily great song but it's outthere and I don't think it's leaving soon. So get used to it or turn it off when it comes on the radio. The sad but true thing of it is, like it or not if you're out there playing in bars your gonna have to cover it.
Good acoustic guitars without breaking the bank....Check out BC Rich guitars. Yeah they are the guys that build those wild electrics but they put out really decent acoustics. If you can track down a used one you'll be looking in the 400 or 500 dollar range. I have one thats about 15 years old and it is a very well balanced guitar that can hold it's own against any Tak or Yammy at any price. The weird thing about this guitar is that it's the only one I own that has perfect intonation without any modifications. Even my Martin doesn't have perfect intonation. I haven't tried any of new acoustic models BC Rich has out but they might be a good place to start. I'd alos try a Simon Patrick although they will be more pricey.
-Rondo Fondu | 9/8/2004 |
the way i do it on the intro is i tune to low d and use the top two strings and it sounds jus like the intro.
-chikun | 9/12/2004 |
i think this kewl rocks the boat man can neone tab out the song SAVED by them? If you get it tabbed please tell me. -lil_playa | 9/15/2004 |
Wow. Just read through all this garbage and really can't believe some of you folks. It is country, it ain't country, who cares, it's sellin'. How much you makin' off your music? $100 a night every other weekend, maybe tips, maybe just free beer and a place to play? I like it, some folks don't. I think Kid Rock is a Dog Turd, but I don't argue with the fact that he's selling more CD's than me. So, like mentioned above, when Kid and Sheryl Crow (Lance Armstrong's girlfriend) come on the radio, I punch the next station. No big deal.
You want the best acoustic, test drive a Martin, then buy a Taylor. Better yet, find a used Taylor. Most acoustics mellow with age and sound better about 10 years out. -dwsanders | 9/18/2004 |
Good advice to the buyer from everyone (you can see that everyone has different taste). Just go and test drive all different kinds. Listen to them and feel the action of the strings. Find one with good tone and play. You'll know it when you find it. The most expensive guitar is not always the best. Some of my favorite guitars weren't top end. -vjromero | 9/20/2004 |
WHAT GUITAR TO BUY: heres the deal. martin is a tried and true guitar, but there hasnt been much innovation going on, theyve been the same guitar for 50 years now. takamine is what all the artists play because takamine gives them to them for free. i have never liked the sound of them and i think they are poorly made. i play an ovation celebrity deluxe. theyre a grear gigging guitar, with good electronics, but theyre no good for the true guitar tone, due to the fiberglass composite back. i just bought a new taylor 312ce. taylor is the best guitar on the market, unless you go to goodall or larivee or froggy bottom. but those guitars wil cost you over 4000. you can find a used taylor or even a new 300 series for under 1500. this is what i would suggest. the wood is african mahogany, and the sound is undescribable. be careful if you play a taylor though, because you will fall in love with it and end up buying it. I GUARANTEE IT!!! happy hunting.
plus, i love big and rich. people thought garth brooks was too poppy, and he brought country music to people who didnt even like country music. thats what B&R are doing, and i think its great. and cowboy troy is awesome. -kjdfein | 9/21/2004 |
What guitar to buy? I have a 15 year old Takamine acoustic-electric that sounds better than it did the day I bought - and I've been beating on it for all 15 years. Think I paid about $400 for it back in 1989 so it's probably more now. If you get the urge to go electric - get a Tele - nothing sounds better for country imho.
good luck and keep playing! -jb1966 | 9/22/2004 |
I agree....takamine is my favorite..true sound Im pretty sure the country stars can afford to play whatever they choose You could probably get something better but for $500-$700 nothing beats it. -dbrown234 | 9/23/2004 |
I hear all your points about old, new, what is, what isn't country. If I recall "they"(music establishment) called Hank Sr/Jr, Johnny, Waylon, Garth and Shania not "True" country. And it seems that all of those artist have faired alright. Now I am not comparing Big and Rich on the same level as those artist. However, the point is "True Country Music" isn't decided on by you or me or "them" (music establishment). It's decided on by the creators of the music, the artist. There are as many opinions of what is true country is as there are fans. So enjoy your version of "True Country" and I will enjoy mine. But there is no need to tell an artist or a fan of that artist that there music isn't real or true. That is just plain ignorance. OK off my soap box now,thaks for the tab, much love and keep playin
-adam5 | 9/25/2004 |
I recently bought a "Breedlove Atlas" acoustic/electric. Best action I've ever used, and the sound is so pure. Don't know much about Breedlove exept that some guys left Taylor to start their own line. Couldn't ask for a better guitar, but if anyone knows some history, put it out there for me. Thanks -alanmaierjr | 9/28/2004 |
you should defenitly bye a fender acoustic!! they r the best, i play one myself and the sound is excellent and they have good pick-ups in them to, but matons arn't bad either.
Big n rich rock!! there something different in country music, like a bit of a change....everybody needs one of them once in a while 2. Keep smilin'.
-katiebrooke | 10/1/2004 |
ok guys... heres where it stands... i collect guitars and as it is i have over 20 of them now... everythign form home made to les paul electrics.... the best by far ive ever heard and i own one ... is the martin drednaught dc-16rgte its all mahogony wood and has the most amazing tone of all guitars.... it truely is the best... the catch u need about 1900 dollars to buy it... but its beautyful and affordable ( ass opposed to the 6-9 thousand dollar guitars) which to me sounds the same as the one i got... theres my tips for u...
-Jam20036 | 10/2/2004 |
What Guitar To Buy: I have an Alvarez. They are normally thought of as just strictly classical guitars but they still have that nice twangy country sound
-thewesman | 10/9/2004 |
this song by big and ritch is the best song ever made so keep up the great work your the best
-torontofireman | 10/10/2004 |
Try out a Peavey Tupelo acoustis/electric, I have both a Fender and a Martin each 20 years old plus but the Peavey is a very good sounding and easy on the fingers to play.
-Maddog | 10/21/2004 |
I think it sounds better if you do it all in barre chords -Rodeoboy387 | 10/26/2004 |
that there is a lot of comments
-jediknight | 11/1/2004 |
What guitar??? I have owned Gibson, Fender, ibanez, Martin and Gretcsh.. My latest guitar is a Washburn EAdsl20....amazing sound, best electronics I hve ever heard . It's quilted maple and is beautiful!!! I'm sticking with washburn from here!! -truecountry | 11/3/2004 |
Hey great choice of guitars! Another great guitar is a Blueridge and Breedloves. -Cowboy+17 | 11/3/2004 |
this is just my two cents on my guitar. I was looking for an entry level nice guitar and went to the Guitar Center here in Memphis. Not knowing alot about the name brands mind you. I played dozens of them and I settled on a Taylor Big Baby. Its not the cheapest guitar, but not the most expensive and I can honestly say that it sounds wonderful. I have heard other, way more expensive guitars that sound better but not by much. I think its all on personal preference. I love my Taylor Guitar. -Hermitjr | 11/15/2004 |
I don't know about acoustic/eletrics but seagull makes a good acoustic http://www.seagullguitars.com/intro.htm . They're owned by Godin and they make some eletric guitars as well. -Chevy204 | 11/20/2004 |
I think big and rich are awesome, how boring would it be if music never changed and country sounded the same as it did 50 years ago, all styles of music change over time people, get over it. just cuz its different doesn't mean it isn't real. -boazma | 12/13/2004 |
great tab, okay song, i'm 17 and i prefer hank williams, sr. and merle haggard over new country, but big & rich are talented guys. i own merle haggard's signature model fender telecaster, a gibson es-335, and a eric clapton signature fender stratocaster. as for acoustics i play an ibanez aw20ce acoustic electric and it sounds great and has an unbeatable price of 499.99$ for it's quality and sound. but if you're looking for something a little nicer i'd go for a takamine. -bluesman04 | 12/18/2004 |
Anyone notice the banjo played very soft in the third verse? (the spoken/chanted verse)Sure sounds like the theme to James Bond, but I've never been known to have great ears. -marc92 | 12/19/2004 |
I Own A Alvarez And Its Great I Reccomend Alvarez -skipppy | 1/2/2005 |
I have an Epiphone acoustic and it rocks dude. But i would recomend a Takamine for country music -guitarman723 | 1/2/2005 |
big and rich are the best i think. thanks for the tabs -michaelmorie | 1/14/2005 |
Just one thing DID YOU SEE THE CHARTS Big & Rich are awesome. to all those who dont like them SAVE A HORSE RIDE UR MOTHER Big and rich are the best id play with them anyday. and if they arent country then why do all the other country artists love them as well. Hank does Jimmy does and i dare you to tell me there not country ......they started out the exact same way Thank you and good night
-Lightening_2 | 2/22/2005 |
they're not country. not all of hank william's, jr's songs are country either! it's southern rock. hell, these days i could play some of my blues and southern rock songs and call them country. the only two country artists left that are still big are george strait and alan jackson. big & rich ain't got sh*t on willie, waylon, hank,sr, george jones, or merle haggard. -bluesman04 | 3/9/2005 |
its up the person listening to the musci....not everybody is going to agree...thats great...country music needs to change with the times...and it will no matter what any one person says -lisah | 3/12/2005 |
A little country grammer here for you. In the verse where Big Kenny is talking, the line should be: "Flyin' high, fine as wine,..." -DeweyWayne | 4/7/2005 |
Try out Dean guitars - amazing sound and much more affordable than Takamine or Martin. -roddyreilly | 4/17/2005 |
no man its save a horse f*** a cowgirl -liamvosman | 4/21/2005 |
yo dwh1587, hey im a martin kinda guy, ive got three of them. and they have great sounds. but personally, some people dont want to go for 1000-3000 dollar acoustics, so if u want a good soundin acoustic for a good price i'd say a Sonata or a Fender. Sonata's are like 300 to 500 dollars, but they're kinda low rated acoustics, well not low rated its just that not alot of people have them, but i like them. so thats my opinion. hope it works out for ya. -guitarfreekBnB | 8/1/2005 |
Here's my advice on the guitar, don't settle. You'll regret it. Save your money and buy a really good guitar you can pass down to you kid one day. A Martin will sound awesome in about 10 years, but I really, really love a Taylor. The other guy was right don't play one unless you can afford it. So save your money until you can. Oh yeah I hate B&R but I love these arguements. They are so pointless. -Maleman | 11/22/2005 |
Guild G37 Sunburst. Started sounding real good when it was about fifteen years old. Sounds good at twenty-five now.... -jhwaters | 12/13/2005 |
love the song, love the tab, nice job. But this song isnt country and hopefully never will be -KnoxGodoy3 | 12/25/2005 |
