I can't come anywhere close to playing this piece myself, but from slowly choking out the first few measures on my guitar, the transcription seems fairly accurate. I have tried to type this in exactly as it appears in the article. Please let me know of any corrections or suggestions. Many thanks to Scott Bigelow (cino@acca.nmsu.edu) for providing the original copy of the article. Hope you enjoy it. =========================================================================== Layover by Michael Hedges transcribed by Mark Hanson and T. Long in Frets Magazine - November 1986 "'Layover' is about the closest I get to playing a regular alternating- bass style," says Michael Hedges. That makes "Layover" one of the more readily accessible 6-string pieces in Hedges' repertoire, and it's transcribed here as a sampler of some of his distinctive techniques. Measures 5 through 24 use a nearly constant alternating-bass pattern. In measures 25-38, the alternating bass disappears, and continual one-, two-, and three-string hammer-ons ("tapping") are introduced. To ensure bright harmonics in measures 12-14, finger the 7th fret of the third string with the index finger; and the fourth-string harmonic with the middle finger. In measures 29 and 30, Hedges emphasizes the lower-pitched of the two simultaneously-pluked notes in the top voice - a difficult technique, but a necessary one to bring out the melody. The guitar tuning is DACGCE, lowest pitch to highest. -Mark Hanson |--1-------2-------3-------4-------|--1-------2-------3-------4-------| 1 slowly
