Subject: TAB: Rory Gallagher - In your town

Rory uses a Fender Tele tuned to Open-E: E H E G# H E (low to high) and a capo on the third fret. I noted the the frets up from the capo to mark the open played strings. Be careful with the picking. Rory holds the plectrum between his thumb and the 1st finger and addidionally picks the upper strings with his 2nd and 3rd finger. The slide he mostly puts on the 3rd finger.
