Starting with the guitar in standard tuning: E A D G B E (low to high) and altering the tuning as follows ..... Listening to the Intro. The 2 highest notes, which ring throughout, sound as open strings. These notes are 'B' and 'D', and gives us: ? ? ? ? B D The first 2 (lowest) notes of the common picked pattern are doubled G notes. Tuning the A-string down to G would make this possible to play, giving: ? G ? ? B D The other G can be played on the E-string-3rd fret, although at the moment its tuning isn't clear. The descending run in bar 4, contains open strings. An open D-string can be heard. The highest note picked is an 'A' - this also sounds as an open note, implying the standard G-string needs to be tuned to an open A, giving: * ? G D A B D * Make sure you were originally tuned to standard 'E' (as found on a guitar tuner) or lower, before attempting this. Otherwise the G-string is put under stress and can break. The only unknown string is the bottom E-string, which is left tuned to E - allowing the doubled G note to be played on the 3rd fret. In verse 1 bar 8, there is an ascending pattern which uses the lowest 3 strings in open positions. An open low E can be heard, confirming the tuning to be: E G D A B D (from low to high) Playing Notes ------------- The Intro and Verses 1 and 2 are in 4/4 time. The choruses, verse 3 and guitar solos are in 2/4 time. Thanks to Mandy for the thoughts on timing. (mandy@electronic.co.uk) Verses 1 and 2 are based on the picking pattern used in the Intro. Let all notes ring, particularly those on the D and B strings. Verse 3 uses the same shape as a chorus. In the chorus' spend time getting the feel of 2/4 time. Also, make sure the guitar is in tune - a few D's played in unison can sound unforgiving if it isn't up to scratch. The chorus' sound 'jangley', its possible that they were either doubletracked, played with a chorus effect or that a 12-string guitar was used. Chorus 2 has a mandolin mixed in with the guitar, which in turn gives it a brighter sound. Both solos are similar and have a Spanish/flamenco feel. The solos contain some fast note flurries and wide interval steps, requiring some fretboard fluency. The rhythm tracks behind both solos use the same shape as a chorus, but the note choices are more uniform. This Transcription (c) DarkMusic 1995. ReVamped '97.

Wayne Ellis email ellis_w_wayne@bt-web.bt.co.uk Scarlet by All About Eve from Scarlet and Other Stories For starters, the Ellis tab for Scarlet need not be so complicated - instead tune the guitar down a step and bob's your auntie. And this is actually how Bricheno played it, and I know, cos I saw him do it. So here is the basic starter pack to playing the proper form of Scarlet.
