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

Song

Hello,

I've been playing fingerstyle guitar for a little over a year now

(about as long as I've played guitar) and I came across this

Leo Kottke tune called "Piece 17" on the "A Shout Toward Noon" CD.

It's a *fantastic* CD, my favorite by Loe so far. Anyway, I

became obsessed with learning "Piece 17". After exhausting all sources

for music I sat down with my roomate's CD player, and used the A-B

repeat feature until I thought he was going to kick me out of the apartment.

The following is what I came up with. I can tell you right now,

that picking stuff up by ear is *not* my forte'. It took forever for

me to get this. It's not very much, but I am asking all of you

experienced players out there to help me finish this. (or even correct what

I have so far)

Thanks,

Terry

Greetings,

I don't know who asked for it, but here it is, the tab for "Leo Kottke's"

Piece 17. Fact of the matter is, that it isn't Leo at all, but it's a

piece by Mauro Giuliani entitled Larghetto, Op. 30, No. 17. One sees here

where Mr Kottke comes up with the name "Piece 17".

Anyway I just typed it in from the score of the music, so pls forgive

mistkes, as there are probably many...

Larghetto Op 30, No. 17, by Mauro Giuliani

Played by Leo Kottke on A Shout Toward Noon, under the title "Piece 17"

Notes:

it's in 3/8 time,

title of larghetto means "slow". Enjoy EVERY chord.

a couple of places I say CIII or something... "C" means bar (I think it's

from the spanish for bar, not quite sure) and following it is a fret

number in roman numberals.
