The string spacing on that tab is a bit narrow for my fat fingers…

But it's not tab is it? It's just pictures of a fretboard. 

 

Tab is bars with the strings on. The Cage Song is 120 bars odd of rests. Depending on what tempo you play it at.

It's in cut time, so it's really 240 bars of rests.

Think you might be taking it a bit too seriously.

Surely it doesn’t make any difference what tempo you (don’t) play it at - it’s 120 bars*. The only difference the tempo makes is that it will take you more or less time (not) to play it than the 4’33” of the title.
 

 

 

 

 

*Or however many bars are in the piece.

So the tempo does matter? Or it doesn't..?

But that's not true is it. We're talking covers bands, ergo drunken covers band crowds. And it is an immutable law that regardless of what song the band is playing, the crowd are all dancing to the beat of In the Summer Time by Mungo Jerry.
