I have a friend who flatpicks the song with some strumming as well and it does sound very good though.]]> Easy Songs MaxRumble https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/time-in-a-bottle-jim-croce/#post-147316 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/time-in-a-bottle-jim-croce/#post-147314 Thu, 29 Dec 2005 00:31:39 +0000 Easy Songs MikeMc https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/time-in-a-bottle-jim-croce/#post-147314 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/time-in-a-bottle-jim-croce/#post-142664 Mon, 05 Dec 2005 23:25:58 +0000 Easy Songs Geek in the Pink https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/time-in-a-bottle-jim-croce/#post-142664 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/time-in-a-bottle-jim-croce/#post-13188 Sat, 19 Nov 2005 17:38:10 +0000 Well here is a version of time in a bottle that combines the two guitars - quite successfully I think. I found a tab on the net for this song and I modified it a little and put in a better format. This is not really an easy song more of an intermediate. I have been practicing it a little here and there for about 2 months, and I don't have it quite smooth yet. The verses and chorus's revolve around Dm and D respectively.
