Doc Watson "Summertime" Intro Guitar Solo Lesson

Hello friends,

I've received a request for my tab and chord sheet for Doc Watson's rendition of "Summertime." Because I recommend that every aspiring soloist learn Merle Watson's classic licks, I decided to share these resources with the group. Enjoy!

Doc Watson "Summertime" Intro Guitar Solo Lesson

Hi Rob, have you posted any solo tablature for this besides the intro? I'd love to throw another solo in the middle of the song! Thanks, Steve

New member as of today! Really like this version. I notice in your youtube lesson that you show the chord progression of G to Em to Am7 and then go to a C chord or optionally C/G then Em. The tab I downloaded, here has G to Em to Am7 to B7 to Em. Both work I like the progression on your youtube lesson better. - just wondering if you have your tab versions posted somewhere other than where I'm downloading from. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hey Lei, thanks for the heads up, I deleted those outdated links. The resources are still attached at the bottom of the post.

Great post, Rob! The link to the tab is broken. Please advise?

Hi Rob, can't seem to download the solo hand written tab, is it still available? Thanks

Hey Susan, I just added a new PDF with audio samples. Enjoy!

Hey David, I've created a print quality tab for the solo. I still need to include chords to each measure, so I'll wait to upload the PDF until those details are added. I've posted a screen shot of my work above. Check back tomorrow for a downloadable version.

Thanks Rob. You did such a great job with the video. I think I’ll learn more between the two (video and tab). I appreciate your response. Best,

Hey David, looks like I’ll need to do some maintenance on this post. I’ll whip up an upgraded tab tonight and message you when it’s done. Sorry for the issue, sometimes Patreon changes it’s system and the links break.

Just joined after seeing your awesome lesson on Summertime. But I can’t download the Tab to my iPad. Can you help? Thx!

although the handwritten sheet is great would love to have the pdf printed tab on the video screen- am I missing something?

Nice one Rob! Doc is my hero. Could you consider breaking down Deep River Blues at some stage?

Rob, Do you have a table that describes the tab notation you use in all your songs?

Hey Bob, thats a great tune, thanks so much for bringing it to my attention. I'll consider putting something together when things slow down in the fall, as it's pretty complex.

Thanks for Summertime. I love Gershwin. While you're considering the old standards, how about a beginners video on Come Porter's Anything Goes?

Hey Swisa, I'm so glad that my lessons are serving you well! I'll give Otis a pat on the head on your behalf haha.

Love this song. As a beginner, your lessons are helping me learn to play the guitar with your cIear explanations and close ups. Thank you and keep up the good work! btw your dogs are cute.

Thanks James, this is one of my favorite tunes to teach and perform. Glad you're getting something out of it. Many more lessons are on the way, thanks to your support. Be well and enjoy your practice. -Rob

Wow! This just made my month! You were the man, but now you're the boss!

The chord sheet is in office which I don't have so I can't download it.
