Desert Mountain Showdown by Hootie And The Blowfish Nice Bluegrass-ish tune from the 'Musical Chairs' Album for all redneck wannabes out there Album track is played relatively slow but live they turn it up several notches. Best to slow and work your speed up. Listen to the track for the timing. During the Chorus and bridge there are some minor steel guitar licks mixed with the and violin but I havent put them on here. They are relatively simple (3-4 notes just as the riff ends) so if someone wants to add them later then feel free. Alternatively you can just 'wing it' like I tend to do.
