[941205 this transcription superceded by next message -djg] Xref: undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature:28399 NNTP-Posting-Host: newsbf01.news.aol.com Status: OR "The Song of the Swamp" by Leo Kottke Transcribed from Greenhouse (1972) Also recorded on the Capital compilation 'The Best' This slide tune is in open G tuning. It works on 6 or 12 string. It is essential to listen to the music with the transcription, to hear which notes are fretted with a finger and which with the slide, and to catch the rhythm. In measure 5 the first two notes use finger fretting, for example. The notation is standard, with 's' meaning slide from note to note, or up or down to the note as appropriate. I think this is a reasonable approximation of the song--please send your corrections or suggestions. This was posted to the Nevada archive 6 months ago but never to any newsgroup.
