Morley - Shuffle Along tablature

[Richard Yates]

My second attempt at generating banjo tablature. Please let me know of any errors that you find.

Absolutely first rate, I recorded this one not long ago and the fingerings are perfect.

The only thing I would change is in bar 54, instead of playing C at the 3rd string, 5th fret, I play it from the barre at the first position (2nd string, 1st fret) which allows for a smoother transition back to bar 47 for the repeat.

Excellent job as usual, Richard.

Thanks, I've made that correction. Now to work out a guitar version that adds some bass from the piano part. I've done that with Cute an' Catchy and will record an mp3 of it in the next day or two.

hi Richard ,nice tab .when i heard Mike play it ,i was going to tab it from score ,but  istill tab by hand . thanks regards

[Richard Yates]

Thanks, Alan. I am a guitarist just trying to get a feel for the fingering constraints that banjo tuning implies. Here's another little experiment - a study very familiar to guitarists - tabbed out for four string banjo (with a few adjustments):

(Mike will know this one since he uses the composer's portrait on other web sites!)

Very nice, Richard! Furthermore, for those who would like a nice stretching exercise, playing it from Standard tuning is also possible though it implies a few 5-fret reaches ;-)
