TABS

[Tim Twiss]

Although I am pro-notation, I am not anti-tab. I thought a discussion for tabs might be fun and useful. It was the only way I made any sense of this music when I started. I have lots of tab ready to go, so let's post some here...or John, maybe there could be a spot to place a library. Here is a raw, unfingered version of Land Of Canaan. I watched my tube of it from last year, and thought best not to post it. It sounds okay, but my hand is pretty funky...snapping and bending at the joint a lot. I spent a long time correcting some of those habits. I'm sure if we put up our own fingerings, we would get a lot of different views.

Yes, it is the 7-5 pulloff on the 1st string. Converse's tuning is eAEG#B so if you just count frets (B,C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#), you can work it out. In the original m9, this pull-off is shown as the number 3 with a 'smile' under it...indicating you use your 3rd finger to pull the string (while the first makes the barre @ the 5th fret).

The "double-stops" I would just hit on the down-stroke. They're on adjacent strings so it is a natural movement...and I would try to let the bass note ring undamped.

According to the people at Ning, there will be a way we can track files and attachments come this August.

I've sent a request to the ning people about this. I could create a special forum category of scores that we could attach files to, but this would be awkward

John, perhaps there is a solution?
Hey Marc, there is a "must have" fingering in M 9 M11 M13 ...pull the F# to the E.
Also, might want to key it in A....with respect to Converse. (it makes no difference to the TAB, but it is in A).
