Rickover's Dream - Michael Hedges cover

This song single-handedly got me playing guitar again in '87. I never saw Michael live during his lifetime, which made learning it, by ear, all the more challenging.

Song: Rickover's Dream
Composer: Michael Hedges
Album: Aerial Boundaries
Tuning: CGDGBC
Guitar: 1990 Larrivee D-09

@HandiAce Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I ordered the book last night. You sound great by the way. Do you live anywhere near Chicago?

[saffronboots]

@moellermusic1 No - I'm in Ottawa, Canada.

Do you have the Sheet Music?

Where Can I get it? Not tabs please.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@moellermusic1 Stropes' Editions has the official sheet music in the book Rhythm, Sonority, Silence.

Hi Saffronboots, excellent cover. Got around to posting my version (at last) :)

I did mine by ear after listening to it from the Evening with Windham Hill Sampler '83 version. Think I am pretty close. I need to get some tips from someone on recording video!!!! And, yes Guitar playing is not a competitive sport, I agree.

Keep up the good work!

@saffronboots The harmonic tapping at the beginning.

I gotta admit, I'm learning it off the sheet music and couldn't figure out the technique, so I looked this up, and you did a great job. How long did it take you to learn? It took me about 2 months to learn Aerial Boundaries... Difficult shit, man.
