Hoist That Rag Solo

Tom Waits

Tom: G

Hoist That Rag (guitar solo)
Guitar by: Marc Ribot
Album: Real Gone
Half-assed transcribed by: *

Ive noticed no one has really given this any shot on the net. The solo is in the key
of Am. There are a few parts I havent tackled, the chord-jam at the end being the most
difficult. I started it off, the notes are pretty dead on. The repeated motif [A] is an
example of the notes. There are variations. So I hope this inspires someone to finish it
off or add something. When you do, drop me a line.

P.S. If anyone has a recording or any pictures from the New Years 06 Electric Masada
show @ Tonic, let me know. Or any Ceramic Dog bootlegs. Thanks
