Little martha Allman Brothers Band
Xref: undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature:11661 rec.music.makers.guitar.acoustic:2115 Article-I.D.: acad3.11JAN199415550095 References: News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41.UAF In response to a recent request for Little Martha by Duane Allman, here is one I had on hand, downloaded a while ago from the net. I haven't listened to the Allman Bros. album that it is on for quite a while, so don't know how true it is to that, but it sounds nice the way it is written. By the way, it is also very close to the way Kottke plays it on the Home and Away video. Kottke plays it in open D with no capo and uses an alternating bass rather than the monotone that this tab has. Also, Kottke does a neat thing with 12th and 7th fret harmonics at the beginning.

Rather than tuning the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings up (which can be really stressful on the neck), you can tune down to open D (D A D F# A D) and capo at the second fret. The thumb keeps time with a monotonic bass line while the fingers play the melody. The structure of the tune is: 1 - Intro 2 - Part 1 ending with [1.] 3 - Repeat Part 1 ending with [2.] 4 - Part 2 5 - Repeat Part 1 up until [To Coda] 6 - Coda Chords used: numbers in grid indicate frets numbers in parentheses are suggested fingerings (1=index,2=middle,etc) E B E G#B e +-----------+ E 0 0 0 0 0 0 (pretty obvious !)
