This is an experiment in transcribing with many new things of mine: new
computer, new tab program (Bucket o' Tab), new guitar (Martin), and new
CD (Steve Howe 'Not Necessarily Acoustic'). Steve Howe was the former
guitarist of Yes in case you don't know, and I guess he's getting back to
his fingerpicking roots on his latest album.
Unfortunately, he also tries to get back to his singing roots on a few
songs! :-) He's really into the Chet Atkins/Merle Travis style and
hopefully that shows on my transcription.
He also did this song on his second solo album 'The Steve Howe Album' but
it's a bit different than the version he plays on his new album. He
starts jamming a bit in the middle and I didn't transcribe the whole
thing, but the way I did it fits together so you shouldn't have any trouble
if you follow along with the CD. I didn't write out the rhythm because I'm
not used to how to do that in tab. You'll have to follow along in the song
to get the rhythm down and to see the parts I skipped when he starts
jamming. This is a pretty fun fingerpicking song -- let me know what you
think.
