SUN GOING DOWN by THE TEA PARTY
After uploading the transcription of «Sister Awake» to the archive
I received many requests if I have some more material.
Well, I’m working on it. As you know, Tea Party is hard to transcribe
if you want a detailled tab.
Here’s a hint to play another cool Tea Party song. It’s very
hard to transcribe slide guitar, however if you have the
right tuning and a bottle-neck it’s relative «easy» to play.
Use your imagination and «slide» along with the CD.
— Acoustic guitar (country-western)
— Guitar tuned in C : low to high C G C G C E
— Use a (metal) bottle neck
— As heard on the album «Splendor Solis»
Example of «chords» played with bottle neck (s means slide):
E—0—0—2-s-3—2-s-3—0—2-s-3—0—0—2-s-3—0—2-s-3-s-5
C—0—0—2-s-3—2-s-3—0—2-s-3—0—0—2-s-3—0—2-s-3-s-5
G—0—0—2-s-3—2-s-3—0—2-s-3—0—0—2-s-3—0—2-s-3-s-5
C—0—0—2-s-3—2-s-3—0—2-s-3—0—0—2-s-3—0—2-s-3-s-5
G—0—0—2-s-3—2-s-3—0—2-s-3—0—0—2-s-3—0—2-s-3-s-5
C—0—0—2-s-3—2-s-3—0—2-s-3—0—0—2-s-3—0—2-s-3-s-5
Also use the 7th, 8th and 12th position.
Hope this helps a bit. CU
