The melody of Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses by Kathy Mattea runs 299 notes across 47 bars, 3:38 long in Db at 120 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
