James, Good work and I think your tab is good and after some demonstrations of it, people will get the hang of it. Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks doc dc
Hey James, you really got me inspired with this tune, however i have to say i am a bit confused with how you write out your tab. So far i have dechiphered this: (where v is draw/suck)
What's "V"? I relate musical expressions to shapes. The first shape (or musical expression) is merely a triangle. The dark 4 and 5 are the holes. The circle by the 4 displays an S (start). See the horizontal line that connects the 4 and 5? It has a directional arrow, as do the others. Blow 4. Blow 5, then slide back to the 4 to draw. The hypotenuse is created by the blow 5 becomming a draw 4. NTJ
NTJ, thats cool, i watched your video for about 1/2 hour over and over, i've pretty much got it down, late here now, so i'll have another bash tomorrow... BTW, i have checked out your other video and they are 5 stars!
ps. yes, the "v" is just indiating a draw, all the rest are blow. I can see how your tab method can be useful to help commit the tune to memory as you can imagine 'riding' the different shapes.
the tab is kind of confusing at first cuz im used to the regular 3 4 -3 3 kinds of tabs
but once you get it down its easier to commit to memory
thanks james, I got a good bit of it down but im still workin on it a bit

This is old. I simplified things a lot. Check out anything on "the kitchen door." Thanks for watching. NTJ
