Song: Sweet Home Alabama 
Artist: Lynyrd Skynyrd 
Tuning: E,A,D,G
Notes: —Folks, Do The Decent Thing, Make Your Own Tabs, Stop Copying Mine 
;)— Ok, Through the First Riff of the song, Make sure you fret the D and G Strings 
with your Ring and Pinky, making a chord symbol like this
 
I: Index
R: Ring
P: Pinky

 E A D G
| I     |
|   R P |
|       |
|       |

Why? because in order to get the trademark sound from the riff, you HAVE TO 
HAVE BOTH OF THOSE STRINGS FRETTED WHEN INDICATED! The G String MUST Ring 
While you Play The D String or else the riff sounds sucky.  Thats Why You Cannot 
Move from The G—String To The D—String. because it has to stay fretted to 
ring. And In Riff 3, You notice the difference in space between the Notes 
on the E String? Play those Two Notes FASTER Than before, and as soon as you 
hit the 5 On The D String, Jump To 3 On A And Slide Back To The Beginning. Repeat 
Till End.
