Handle with Care was released by supergroup TRAVELING WILBURYS in 1988. The group had the legendary membership of Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison & Geoff Lynne. Quite a line-up!
This is a great strum & sing song. I’ve included tab for the lead guitar riff that happen in the Intro and Verses. I use this as the intro when I’m playing on acoustic guitar as it’s a bit more interesting and reminiscent of the recording.
