Panama TAB (Revised)

**garbeaj** · 01.12.21, 07:00 PM

I've just done an overhaul of how I believe the "Panama" solo is played. I've made several significant changes and I've included the second chorus leading into the solo and up until the Interlude begins:

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Hey Allen have you listened to my version of Panama in my VH thread? Can you tell me how close you think the solo is? I feel like I’m pretty much there I’m just curious your thoughts.

Shit now I asked for it.

🤣🤣You did great on everything except the solo...just follow this TAB above and that should help you a lot!

I will say you played everything else in the song way better than me!

All right I’ll rework the solo a little bit. Thank you sir!

I wish you’d make a video of yourself playing it. Sometimes I do better seeing somebody play it and hearing it then trying to figure out tab.

Shit now that I listen to mine I can hear how off it is. Wow. Ok fixing!

I have a clip of me playing it wrong! This was from before I figured out that the "hammer-ons from nowhere" played such an important role. Here is me playing the right notes in the right order, but without the correct "hammer-ons from nowhere" at the 7:52 mark in my "Clapton/Van Halen Lesson" clip. But you have to be able to read the TAB in order to understand where the "hammer-ons from nowhere" go:
