Gypsy Suzanne Vega
<9301141624.AA24515@marinara> Hi James. Thanks for posting Gypsy...but I see that you posted the second of two submissions. The one you did post was only the *correction* to the first, and had none of the song in it at all! Please substitute the following for the file you posted. It contains the entire song, as corrected. Thanks, Rich. ******************************************************************************* Hi everybody... I've gotten so much from this newsgroup that I decided that I just *have to* post a good song to partially repay you all. Well, this one is my favorite of *all* to play. The music can be found in the book, "The Mark Phillips. It's a fantastic book, and I hope this sampling encourages you to go out and buy it. I've made a few small changes where playing has shown me that there must have been a typo in the original. And I've included the timing and melody for those of you who don't know the song. Vega sings it on the amazing Solitude Standing album. For those of you new to fingerpicking, don't be freaked by the apparent com- plexity. It's not nearly as hard as it looks, because there's a lot of repetition and the fingerwork is not difficult. Believe me, I'm no wizard on the guitar, and I do fine with this. Learn it slowly, then eventually speed up to the indicated tempo. Enjoy the song, Rich. GYPSY by Suzanne Vega Capo at 2nd fret.
