Psalm 17:8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings

Matthew 23:37 [ Jesus Laments over Jerusalem ] “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

[CJZ65]

This is so good! Just got introduced to the blues by Casey James and now I'm addicted! Just spent a fortune on itunes.



[Irotten]

@CJZ65 Welcome to the dark side. ;-)

[TheRockClassicfan]

@Irotten We have cookies XD

[Nitrozzy7]

@Irotten Dark side?! Well that explains the lyrics.... "Shelter me lord underneath your wings"

First, the lord I know doesn't have wings and the other one that can be called lord, is a fallen angel. And angels do have wings... Just saying.

(In case you're wondering, I was making a joke by saying this song speaks of the devil :P)

[whitshellpet]

@Nitrozzy7 fallen angels dont have wings either thats why thier called fallen angels

[whitshellpet]

@Nitrozzy7 lol still a great song

[GrimReaperTheXIII]

Bad ass song for a bad ass show. Love the show and the song.

[RedBeardTorres]

Any solo tabs?

[Irotten]

@RedBeardTorres I am not good enough to tab out the solo's.  Plus for me it would take a long time. : )

[beauhall]

@RedBeardTorres Solo Tabs? I'm pretty sure he always plays with a band. HAHAHA.

[brohan914]

[River1955]

He IS a nice guy. I've talked and jammed with him.

[marshall14572]

Amazing band as a whole... the drummer has everything together and it all creates a perfect groove.

[FFGlovak553]

it took me 5 min to learn the intro

[fisherman6231]

SONS OF GUNS!!!!

[Lakegrl3420]

About 2 months ago I heard Tab and was seriousely obsessed with listening to his songs 24/7 and telling EVERYBODY about him! His music makes you feel the song down to the core.

[JukeBoxHero991]

Love him ~ yet, the AUDIO on this vid is all over the place ~ sorry :-(

[DavetheDiabetic1]

What guitar is that... love the sound and have to get one I hate my SG now.

[Irotten]

@DavetheDiabetic1  72 telecaster Thinline

[josh72thinline]

He let me play his guitar!!! And he sang! Tab Is cool!!!!

[Irotten]

@josh72thinline That wold be uber cool

[skyhawk0005]

@josh72thinline how does that 72 telecaster play/??? i totally want one

[ukaxeman]

I know Tab, and I can't stand him as a person he is just not a nice guy, but I can't deny he plays some seriously kick ass music !

[Irotten]

@ukaxeman I have met him at several concerts and I CAN'T say that I agree with you. He has always been very nice and committed to talking to everyone and gracious when asked for photos and autographs. Maybe you are catching him at a bad time or he may just not like you. That stuff happens. Who knows? I can only go on what I have experienced and it is not the same as you. You are correct about his playing.

[twparkervt]

@ukaxeman I agree that maybe you caught him on a bad day. A couple years ago, I went to see him in NH and it was at a small Country Club. I called to make sure I could bring my ten year old son. They said it was fine. After the first set, my son turned and said "Dad, he's coming over here." The owner had told Tab that he was coming and he sought us out, had a pick, a signed photo and sat and chatted with us for a while. He didn't have to do that, but he was gracious and kind.

[APontiacof455cubes]

this guy jams and channels his emotion through the strings on par with hendrix. Seriously

[lipevolcom2]

yeah telecaster works great for this song :)

[wwrh99]

such an awsome song, totally my type of my music.

[GoGettaCopeSpitta]

i dont understand why the hell someone watches a video they dont like

[Irotten]

@GoGettaCopeSpitta Allot of people who hit the dislike button do it just to get a rise out of the other posters. I ignore them and don't give them the satisfaction of having them noticed. I really don't care if they don't like it.

[GoGettaCopeSpitta]

Tab is God

[xCh34pShOtx]

sounds exactly like the recorded one...this is real talent. -_- to bad it's almost dead now with auto tune. :D

[Melodyatnguyen]

the earth can shake the sky come down

the mountains all fall to the ground

but i will fear none of these things

shelter me lord underneath your wings

[leedrennan]

If you need a tab to play this....

[Failosaurus71]

Sons of Guns woot !

[MATHEWSMAN1969]

bobblehead bass player is the man

[TheGuitarshooter]

@BucksOwin yeah i think that that model is the only tele i like i love the way it sounds its unique in its own way and yeah id expect it to get feed back pretty easy by the looks of it lol

[momosoar]

the bass man had an ear-gasm, as did the rest of us

[evarcane]

Absolutely amazing

[TheGuitarshooter]

love his 72  fender tele thinline

[BucksOwin]

@TheGuitarshooter

Yep. I played with a guy who had a great sounding one back when. Sadly though, the one I found for myself was a feedback demon! Oh well :-(

[mustangpatty51]

Tab is one hell of a guitar player and performer. An awesome person as well. The best to his fans.

[chichardchan]

bassist is gettin' it! lol

[liberty1stpls]

@chichardchan I thought he was going to bounce off stage...

[LaylaonAM]

I saw him open for Trower in Portland Oregon ----He rocked the house!

[Luigidu64000]

Your tab is so perfect <3

[UncleMoishe]

Turn up your speakers and just JAM to this.... AWESOME.....

[tstapleton6786]

This guy deserves more attention every time I hear him play I get chills! Gonna see him at the sussex county crawfish festival next saturday rock on TAB!

[fighter45108]

[Irotten]

[Irotten]

@fighter45108 I figured out what you were talking about and looked. It is still there and up to 235 ups. You just missed it.

[m0nkEz]

Blues, one of the two greatest genres of music, the other being rock of course.

[cobrafriends]

SONS OF GUNS!! WHOOOO GOO SONSSS!

[parkourkid671]

awsome background music

[mustangpatty51]

If you like this song check out more of Tab, he is a genius on a guitar. See him live if you can as well. I love watching him play. Just loves what he does.

[mustangpatty51]

Tab is one of the best blues guitarists ever. He sings and plays with such soul and passion. I've seen him many times live and I am NEVER disappointed. So glad he is able to do the title song for the tv show "Sons of Guns"

[SawyersJ]

MrWalrus81 - Thank you for the author, and - good job on the chord changes for guitaristbiker and others, including myself. One thing - during the verses, the guitar is answering the vocal by playing both the open A string and the D string at the seventh fret, creating an octave, for a powerful statement. Hard to know if it is actually A minor, as no flatted 3rd except in the intro riff. Until the bridge in F Maj it is just single note. Possibly the vocal is creating the minor with a C note.

[SawyersJ]

Hey Tab, love the song and your performance - thanks to Red Jacket for introducing me to you. One or two questions please..what amp are you using? And did you write this song? Thanks too to Irotten for posting and best wishes!!

JMS

[MrWalrus81]

@SawyersJ Tab didn't write it Buddy Miller did.

[danpoet2]

Great song! The tab hasn't been posted yet. I would appreciate it if you would send it to me. Thanks!

[CharleyMitchell]

Someone hurry up and tab this already.

[calvinS11223]

thank you sons of guns :D

[MrIanhall321]

ha i love the expression the bassist puts into his playing and i also like his hat

[DynaflowDonnie]

@MrIanhall321 Yeah, he gets into it with his head for sure, Nice funky drums and bass, leaving a lot of nice holes for Tab to work in. Great stuff.

[heroyoon]

That's some good stuff.

[jjb7089]

Great song, great artist.

[OMERTA011]

great tone!

[Woodyschannel1]

Nice job! what type of camera did you use? Anyway, thanks.

WoodyAndrews(.com)

[imakesilentclips]

lol look at that 1 lonely person to dislike, fail...i bet he's one of those kids who try to start a wave at a baseball game or slow clap in the middle of a croud

[brad22ex]

One person hates life!!

[warlockmetal1]

Tab Benoit is such a baddass name

[woodskris88]

this brings out the southern fell of life

[woodskris88]

this brings out the southern fell of life

[modernwarfare2340]

hes really good live 

[RussianSpy75]

Sons of Guns may have led me here but I have found another great artist to add to my iPod.

[marks1guitar]

intro/ open 6th string3rd fret 5thfret then open 5th string slide up on 5th string to 7th hit 7th fret once hit 4th string at 5th fret then 7th fret twice on the 4th string bend third sting at 7th fret then hit 5th fret then play 4th string 7th fret watch the video to figure out the timing

[Kimchoc]

BTW, what type vid camera and sound recording did you use to do this? Not bad sound at all from out in the audience. Looks like maybe you used a tripod? Nice and slow zoom/pan. And really good light captured. Needs just a tad more bass doesn't it? :)

Just curious. I do a lot of video abut haven't been in clubs yet. Its on my agenda.

[Irotten]

@Kimchoc Sending you a note....-J

[acdc374]

@Irotten Can I have a note too?

[Irotten]

@acdc374 What kind of note would you like to get?

[acdc374]

@Irotten I would like a note about the camera you used.

[HOscalerules]

Sons of guns theme song right here

[Trage13]

Fantastic playing and singing but I think it's funny that he looks like a constipated 6 year old during the solo :D

[wickedOcreatures]

There is a reason there is only one dislike. This song is great!

[415mrozek]

@wickedOcreatures id bet for a misclick lol

[MrWalrus81]

I want to learn this on guitar but I can't find tabs or chords anywhere.

[Irotten]

@MrWalrus81 As far as I know they don't exist but give it time.  With popularity someone will do it.

[Kimchoc]

@MrWalrus81 Key in A. Lead in A, First chord change is power chord F. Then power D, back to Power F, Power E, Power F, then there's a passing chord I don't have but that will get you close.

[Kimchoc]

@MrWalrus81 Think its a power C passing chord at the very end of that turn around

[MrWalrus81]

@Kimchoc Thanks I'll try it. 

[HammeredAndHorny]

@MrWalrus81 I figured out a lot of the intro, so check Ultimate-Guitar for tabs up until the solo. Should be up in a couple days. I'll also TRY to get the solo done sometime soon, but idk if I'll have time.

[HammeredAndHorny]

@MrWalrus81 Idk if my last comment posted, but I'll have it all up until the solo on Ultimate-Guitar sometime this week, so look for it! As soon as I have time, I'll do the solo as well.

[Blade15]

@MrWalrus81 we have ears. we have time.

[guitaristbiker]

@MrWalrus81 no tabs but that main run is in A minor, and then there is a back down in A minor and then on the chorus it goes to an F major, and then to a D then back to F then to an E,D,C then back to the main run in A minor, can't explain it more clearer but you gotta learn this one by ear

[RickDePriest]

@MrWalrus81 simple bassline is NO BASS

the earth can shake the sky come down

the mountains all fall to the ground

but i will fear none of these things

shelter me lord underneath your wings

dark waters rise A G A and thunder pounds A G A

the wheels of war A G A are going round A G A

and all the walls A G A are crumbling A G AA

3rd string A G / 2nd string E D slide to C / 1st string A G A

shelter me lord underneath your wings

[RickDePriest]

Here's the simple Bassline. NO BASS the earth can shake the sky come down the mountains all fall to the ground but i will fear none of these things shelter me lord underneath your wings dark waters rise A G A and thunder pounds A G A the wheels of war A G A are going round A G A and all the walls A G A are crumbling A G AA 3rd string A G / 2nd string E D slide to C / 1st string A G A shelter me lord underneath your wings shelter me......

[TheFerrot]

@MrWalrus81 watch his fingers if you can thats how my friend learned it

[elithompson1]

@MrWalrus81 i can do it if ya want

[GUITARKID101x]

@MrWalrus81 i figured it out by ear its not very hard to

[psychoschna]

@MrWalrus81 The song is in A. Its pure blues scale. Just try to figure it out. Doing it this way instead of looking at tabs will make you a much better guitarist.

[USMC2321]

god the mixture of cajun sound and blues is amazing! its an awesome song

[carbomb47]

Buddy Miller is probably cranked that this version got so popular because of a television show.

[MRkennith]

i would realy love to have the lyrics to this song

[ShiftyTate808]

@MRkennith theres this crazy thing called google all the kids are using nowadays.....

[Irotten]

@ShiftyTate808 I gave up giving that hint and just posted a link. :-)
