all_along_the_watchtower.tabSong: All Along The Watchtower Band: Dave Matthews Band Album: Reccently, Live At Red Rocks, Listener Supported, various Origanal Version: Bob Dylan Other Versions: Jimi Hendrix, Greatful Dead, U2, Indigo Girls Notes: This transcript is the skeleton of the song. Every recording of it is different because DMB always improvs during shows. If you play this for most the parts the only real thing you need to worry about is the solo section. There's always something different there. Violin, sax, or sometimes Tim Reynolds joins and throws in a guitar solo. You could do tons of stuff with that, just make something up that sounds cool and impress your friends. The final verse section is normally played loudly with the verse, then on it's own without the band, and quietly during the solo section and final verse, then loudly again for the outro.
