UP TEMPO
Artist:  Leo Kottke
Album: "Live in Europe" and "Leo Kottke" (Chrysalis)

Transcription and Tablature:  Roger Hess  2/20/97

12 String tuned to open C (CGCGCE)
Slide worn on little finger.

"Up Tempo" has to be one of Leo Kottke's shortest and most energetic pieces. 
It's one of his "wall of sound" powerhouse tunes from the 70's, and is far 
more impressive live than on the recordings. Although it may sound 
difficult, it is fun and easy to play once the rhythms in Part 2 are 
mastered.

This tune sounds great with a magnetic soundhole pickup and the bass cranked 
up a bit. It also gives a little more reason to tune down to C to practice 
Busted Bicycle and the Toad!

Comments and corrections are welcome.

Play briskly. All thumb strums are down strokes and index finger strums
are upstrokes. Entire section rhythm is alternate thumb down-finger up
strums with accents on indicated beats. Missing strums (between 2 i
strums, for example) are silently executed.

Part 3

This section is played with LH ring finger on 1st string and LH middle 
finger on 3rd string. The fingers never leave the strings--they slide 
between all notes even though the slides are not indicated (for clarity). 
The highest position indicated requires a little contortion for the middle 
finger to reach the 14th fret while the ring finger is on the 13th.
