Don’t Think Twice It’s All Right | TAB


Thinking in the key of C, but it sounds as if in the key of E is all down to fitting that capo on fret 4.

Just like Bob’s biggest hit from this era, Blowin’ In The Wind, we are dealing with the occasional 2/4 bar. Even though this is finger-picked, not strummed, the style is very similar with plenty of alternating bass notes throughout.

Let’s start with taking a look at the verse and analyze the chords four bars at a time using TAB.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right TAB 1

The first four bars contain most of the concept, play through this very slowly and make sure you get it exactly as the TAB display.

I’ve written almost all the chords that appear here. In the third bar, perhaps I should have said Fadd9 as well, and the hammer-on in the last bar is a G6, but both of these are only for a single 16th note!

Here are the next four bars.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right TAB 2

We start in the same way but go to a D/F# instead. This is followed by a great G chord lick moving from G to G6, and G7, lovely stuff.



Here are the next four bars.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right TAB 3

The same intense and even 16th-note pattern is applied throughout here. Practice very slowly at first. The hardest part is the last beat of the D/F#.

Here are the last four bars of Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right’s verse chords.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right TAB 4

I really like how this starts on C/G, not C, it’s a nice variation considering we’ve come from an /F#.

The rest of these four bars are actually new, we’ve not played this before, practice slowly and you will get there. I would recommend you use a metronome throughout.

There are some variations to what you saw here in the TAB, use the chords and lyrics to work these out. It’ll be easy once you practice using the TAB, I promise!
