I am just starting to try this song, using the tab from this site with drop d tuning and a copy of VHI story tellers video to play along with...To the questions
1)Is the song in 4\4 time?
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

Down 03/ Hammer on/ Up 05

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

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