Sorry.<br/> <br/> I was only able to properly figure this out by recording it on a Macintosh<br/> and then slowing it down to half-speed with SoundEdit! 'Twas a royal PAIN,<br/> so I hope everyone appreciates it. :)<br/> <br/> By the way, this is transcribed from _One_Fair_Summer_Evening_. I don't<br/> know if the studio version is any different...<br/> <br/> Adam<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> LOVE AT THE FIVE AND DIME (Nanci Griffith)<br/> ------------------------------------------<br/> [Open G tuning (DGDGBD).
