This song is one of BSS's best.. it's really instrumental; the banjo throughout the was
base for the guitar part I wrote. I had to get creative, you kind of have to experiment
it.
It would sound really sick with about 3 guitars, one playing the banjo part, and the
two playing chords in synch until about half way through the song where one splits into the
chords. Anyway here it is:
Banjo: (beginning)
E 0-----------0---------|
B ----2---0-------2---0-|
G ----------------------|
D ----------------------|
A ----------------------|
E ----------------------|
In the middle and towards the end the bass picks up with the banjo (you have to
with this a bit but this is the scale it uses):
E 0--0------------------------------|
B -----2--2--0--0-------------------|
G -----------------1--1-------------|
D ----------------------2--2--2--2--|
A ----------------------------------|
E ----------------------------------|
Chords:
A Aadd9 E A**
E 0 0 0 0
B 2 0 0 4
G 2 2 1 4
D 2 2 2 4
A 0 0 2 0
E 0 0 0 0
note: on A** in some parts put your pinky on the 5th fret on the high E, towawrds the
of the measure, to immitate the violin (i'll point it out)
