2) Is the rhythmn straight quater notes (downstrums)
3) Are there any tabs for single acoustic performance?
Thanks for taking the time to reply

The rhythm is up and down in a constant movement , there is 2 ways Dave play it though , there is the more funky rhythm which is what he plays at Farm Aid for instance , the one on Storytellers is a constand movement , same tab though

So it is played in eight notes? I am guessing tempo is around 85-90?

Intro
E:----------
B:----------
G:----------
D:----------
A:-3h5---5--
D:-0-----0--
1_4 4
Down 03/ Up Miss on hammer on/ Down05

Or

I just wanted to add that there are several styles of how Dave plays the song, but you could call it funky vs. not-funky. When he was playing at Austin City Limits Songwriters Special...he busted out with a Country funk version. I really don't like country music...but this version of Bartender is really good. Just wanted to point that out, and that it is a really hard version to play (for me anyway).

peace

d (hammer on) u d d u d d (hammer on)

I think I may be tone deaf and have no rhythmn

The VH1 version and Busted Stuff are different as stated. It used to just be an intro into DDTW...
