Here's what I know. The song is actually played with a guitar and banjo with a question and answer sort of feel. I use a hard pick near the bridge of the guitar to simulate the banjo sound. Guitar 1 Banjo 1 e+-------------------------------------------------------------------------- B+-----------------------------------0-1-3-0-1---0-------------------------- G+---------------------------------------------2---0-2---------------------- D+-----0-------------------------------------------------------------------- A+-2-3---2-3-0-2---0-------------------------------------------------------- E+---------------3---------------------------------------------------------- Start this (lick 1) slow, then repeat a few times with increasing tempo before moving on to the second lick. Guitar 2 Banjo 2 e+-------------------------------------------------------------------------- B+-------------------------------------------0---0-------------------------- G+-------------------------------------0-0-2---0---2------------------------ D+-----------------------------------0-------------------------------------- A+---0-0-2-3---2-0---------------------------------------------------------- E+-3---------3-------------------------------------------------------------- From what I remember this (lick 2) is played once then it breaks into the following chord question and answer. Guitar 3 Banjo 3 G G G C G G G G C G e+--3-3-3---0---3---------------------3-3-3---3---3----------------------------------- B+--0-0-0---1---0---------------------3-3-3---5---3----------------------------------- G+--0-0-0---0---0---------------------4-4-4---5---4----------------------------------- D+--0-0-0---2---0---------------------5-5-5---5---5---------------------------------- A+--2-2-2---3---2---------------------5-5-5---3---5---------------------------------- E+--3-3-3-------3---------------------3-3-3-------3--------------------------------- 8 8 4 4 4 8 8 4 4 4 The 8's and 4's correspond to eight and quarter notes respectively. Again from what I remember you go back through licks 1,2,3 at a much quicker tempo then then song goes into picking similar melodies over the strumming on the other instrument. I've never played this with anyone else, so I've never learned the duet parts (I've always faked both parts by myself). Hope this helps Greg Vaughn [email protected]
