Had to be forced to this for all you BSG nuts, there were no correct versions, or any
McCreary tabs for "All Along the Watchtower". Don't bother downloading the guitar pro
it's just the intro, which is harder to play then it seems, that's why I fixed it a bit
it's very easy to play for everyone.
 
The guitar should have high tone, so it comes out sounding nice. I'm currently working
the solo as we speak.
 
 
You guys can figure out how many times to play what.

In the song, it sounds like the verse is all power chords. When I play along thats how I play it. Sounds great either way though! Nice tab, many thanks my friend.
