This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

OJO

by Leo Kottke

Tabbed by Richard Darsie (darsie@ece.ucdavis.edu)

Standard tuning: EADGBE

A few words about this piece: This is by far my favorite Leo Kottke

piece. I fell in love with it when I first heard "6 & 12 String Guitar"

(the Armadillo album) some 20 years ago. For so many years I wanted

to learn it and it defeated me. This version finally came together

about 2 years ago. It's based largely on the transcription in

"8 Songs" but I have modified it to fit more closely to the

recorded version on "6 & 12 String Guitar" -- evidently the

transcription in "8 Songs" is taken from a different recorded

version. Although the piece is in the key of A, on "6 & 12 String

Guitar" Kottke is tuned down so it sounds in the key of F#.

Finally, a standard disclaimer: any errors here are mine. I welcome

feedback from anyone about this transcription, especially any

corrections and/or additions.

Symbols:

s = slide up (or down) to note

h = hammer on note

p = pull off note

The piece is played in the following sequence:

Intro - Section A - B - A - C - A - D - A - Coda

(Play Section A twice each time you come to it)

Intro: (I found it impossible to time this out. I guess it's basically

an unmeasured prelude. You'll have to figure out the timing by

listening.)
