Thanx for you work with the site! -raj Newsgroups: rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature From: mongeau@ferrari.nmc.ed.ray.com (Mike Mongeau) Subject: TAB: Little Martha Organization: Equipment Division, Raytheon Company Date: Wed, 16 Dec 92 01:03:52 GMT I was able to restore my tab of Little Martha from backup tapes (thank goodness for backups !). Here it is again. Little Martha by: Duanne Allman Playing notes: This instrumental is played in open E tuning (E B E G# B E). Rather than tuning the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings up (which can be really stressful on the neck), you can tune down to open D (D A D F# A D) and capo at the second fret. The thumb keeps time with a monotonic bass line while the fingers play the melody. The structure of the tune is: 1 - Intro 2 - Part 1 ending with [1.] 3 - Repeat Part 1 ending with [2.] 4 - Part 2 5 - Repeat Part 1 up until [To Coda] 6 - Coda Chords used: numbers in grid indicate frets numbers in parentheses are suggested fingerings (1=index,2=middle,etc) E B E G#B e +-----------+ E 0 0 0 0 0 0 (pretty obvious !)
