CYCLING TRIVIALITIES - Jose Gonzalez
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Tom Walter (with help from jamminjohn)
Email: walter dot tom at gmail dot com
Tuning: DADABE (Capo 2)
If you don't want to tune your G string up a tone, you can use CGCGAD, Capo 4. The
tunings indicated at the beginning of each row reflect this old tuning which is how I
originally tabbed it. Ignore those!
Thanks to jamminjohn for suggesting the alternate tuning which made a lot of
parts fit better. And the many other commenters for pointing out that it should really
be tuned a tone higher to be authentic.
Played with triplets all the way through (as noted on 1st two bars)
The [1. [2. etc are alternate endings for the sections indicated.
[Part 1] (repeats many times, the ghost notes on string 1 are mostly random)
