four little black berrys

[Alan Sims]

 Does anybody have dots or tab for four little black berrys played by Vess Osman , as i would like to give it a try . regards Alan.

While I don't have the Tab, I do have the banjo sheet music. If nobody has TAB already, I'll be very happy to TAB it for you at no cost. Probably only take an evening or two.

Hi Trapdoor ,that would be very kind of you and would be most appreciated . I think its cracker of a tune excuse the pun ,but merry Xmas anyway .kind regards .Alan

[Trapdoor2]

No worries, Alan. I've got it printed out and I'll start on the TAB tonight. One page...so shouldn't take all that long to do.

[Trapdoor2]

Here's the TAB, dots to go with it. Hope this helps!

N.B. Although I followed the written fingering as best I could, there may be errors or "poor choices" when left to my own devices. I haven't had time to really play thru this...so tell me and I'll fix 'em.

The grace notes look odd as the program has no capability for notating grace notes which start two strings away. Look to the dots for guidance, the TAB should have the positions correct.

This tune plays: Intro-AA-BB-A(last)-Trio-interlude-Trio(last)

Of course, now that I've spent an hour attempting to play this...I've found several errors and some awkward fingering. See attached for a "corrected" version. I don't know how I missed all those sharps in the Trio...

 

[Trapdoor2]

Ah, those missing sharps! I've also re-vamped the fingering in measures 49 and 53, keeping one in position for each and allowing an open string to 'escape' down the fingerboard for the 'bagpipe' effects.

Thanks for the editoral comments!
