  • Dropped-D Tuning
     
    I find a 3-finger style(thumb "p", index "i", and middle "m")
  • to be more effective than using 4 fingers(not to mention 5).
    It makes the velocity and attack easier to achieve. I also
    recommend this approach for Busted Bicycle. If nothing else
  • it takes me out of my four finger rut(Kottke is rumored to have
    twenty fingers, but I think he used only three of them for
    this one). I'll make right hand fingering indications that
  • I think keep a regular momentum going(which includes picking
    out a note here and there on the first and second strings with
    the thumb).
  •  
    The arrangement turned out to be deceptively simple. It's
    chimey and gorgeous and very easy to get to from standard tuning.
  • It is definitely meant to be played on a twelve-string. I think
    listening to the recording of it first is absolutely necessary
    to get a feel for it since I've omitted timing indications(I'm too
  • lazy, but my guess is you're not going to want to bother to learn
    it unless you've heard it played anyway).
     
  • "X" == mute the note e.g. ---X7---
    "h" == hammer
    "p" == pull off to that note
  • "\b" or "/b" == bend down or up to note
    "\" or "/" == slide down or up
