Little Martha The Allman Brothers Band
Subject: Re: Duane Allman Song Needed?<br/> <br/> Where did you see Leo Kottke live? If I could see just one of his live<br/> shows and/or his video, I could die and go to heaven with a smile.<br/> Anyways, the song you're after is "Little Martha" and is archived from<br/> Nevada. The 'Eat A Peach' version is actually Duane on an open-E tuned<br/> acoustic and Dicky Betts playing back-up chords on a standard tuned<br/> acoustic. I haven't yet been able to hear Leos' version mainly 'cause I<br/> can't yet afford the CD. Try this for "Little Martha":<br/> <br/> Little Martha<br/> by: Duane Allman<br/> <br/> Playing notes: <br/> <br/> This instrumental is played in open E tuning (E B E G# B E).<br/> Rather than tuning the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings up (which can<br/> be really stressful on the neck), you can tune down to open D<br/> (D A D F# A D) and capo at the second fret. <br/> <br/> The thumb keeps time with a monotonic bass line while the<br/> fingers play the melody. The structure of the tune is:<br/> <br/> 1 - Intro<br/> 2 - Part 1 ending with [1.]<br/> 3 - Repeat Part 1 ending with [2.]<br/> 4 - Part 2<br/> 5 - Repeat Part 1 up until [To Coda]<br/> 6 - Coda<br/> <br/> Chords used: numbers in grid indicate frets<br/> numbers in parentheses are suggested fingerings<br/> (1=index,2=middle,etc)<br/> <br/> E B E G#B e<br/> +-----------+<br/> E 0 0 0 0 0 0 (pretty
