Okay, let's try this out:
Code: Select allThe repeating pattern. As it circles, it sounds like 2 bars of A but it's really split 2 beats on the front and 2 on the back.

I dig this as a starting point and how you laid it out. And it's simple to riff off it with by adding highlights and embellishments (in this vein, I'm playing the A chord in your tab as a 1st finger partial bar). Also, I like ocassionally adding the 2nd string 3rd fret D to the G chord (not saying Garcia or Winwood did it, just that it sounds pleasing to me).
Thanks J! Yeah, this song has taken such a life of its own with Traffic, post traffic Stevie / Clapton, Jerry, WSP and others I tried to provide a combination of timing, lead run, chording, a melody notes. I'm guessing my playing of this is some gumbo of the aforementioned folks
You're right, alternate melodies, runs, embellishments, ets. Was just trying to give folks a staring point
