This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
The Halcyon Days - The Tea Party
Tuning: D A D G A D (from the official FAQ)
with Capo behind 4th fret.
Tab is done assuming capoed fret is zero.
i.e. capoed fret = 0 fret after that = 1 etc
Intro (capo behind 4th fret)
Oud (arranged for guitar) and steel string acoustic:
D|----||--------------------------------------------------| A|----||--------------------------------------------------| G|--2-||---2----2-3-2p0-----0-2-0-----------0---0h2p0---0-| D|----||----------------3---------3-1---1-3---3-------3---| A|----||--------------------------------------------------| D|----||--------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------| D|--1h3-1p0-----0-0-0h1p0---0-----0-0--0h1p0---0--| A|------------------------3------------------3----| D|----------0~----------------0~------------------| D|---------------------------------------------|| A|---------------------------------------------|| G|---------------------------------------------|| D|------0-0--0h1p0---0--1h3-1p0--0h1p0---0-----|| A|-----------------3-------------------3-------|| D|--0~-------------------------------------0~~-||
When the singing starts 2 acoustic guitars start playing the same thing
as the oud. One 6 string and one 12 string. The 6 string is panned left
and the 12 string is on the right. The 12 string only plays the second
half of the pattern.
Verse
repeat intro then add this: (both guitars and oud)
