Allman+Brothers - Melissa

From: "Andy King, CK27362@uafsysb.uark.edu" Subject: Melissa, Allman Bro's I haven't picked out the tab for the lead for Melissa but here is the chord progression as close as I can get to what Greg Allman plays. The F#m7 and Emaj7 are a pretty good stretch until you get used to playing them, but they get easier. Note the two forms of C#m. The first form is played throughout except in the line 'Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on' in the chorus.

But I think it's easier and more fun playing it this way than in standard.
