Location: Brighty in Blighty | A Glimpse of Times Past is not accurate (at least the 4th bar isn't) see highlighted correction below...
This is more accurate...
Did you just download these "as is" from the web? |

Location: Just outside Dallas, TX | Tabbed by Peppino himself so????? I met him at a show in Va... he was nice enuff to give me the sheet music to several songs after he heard what I spent on one of his CDs from E-Bay (been out of circulation for 5+ years)... After he picked his jaw up from the floor....
Are you sure you hit the correct 1st string tuning?? I play my recording against his and can't hear the difference |

Location: Chicago | Hey Dweezil: Here is an OK tab for Fantasia . You can hear a clip of our version here . WARNING: the "Friday Night" version is inferior in most ways. We transcribed the first section of the suite from Di Meola's original Casino CD. If you are serious I can give you some details! |

Location: Chicago | How about "Guardian Angel" Dweez? It fits this thread better because it sorks as a SWEET fingerstyle exercise. Here is a TAB of the tune . And here is a nice YouTube demo of the introductory part done that way on a nylon. Try it! And if you have a jam buddy, have him take the lead and rock out on the 3/4 chord jam: Em - D - C7 - F- - -Am - G - C7 - B7 with that wicked lead line to kick it off. Here an early version of the Guitar Trio playing a a RIDICULOUSLY fast version. |

Thanks. Those boys rock, I have a few of their albums and it's inspring stuff. Love it.
My fingerstyle is more in the tame world of Bruce Cockburn, Adrian Legg, Stefan Grossman, David Qualey, Doug Smith, Jim Goodin, Richard Gilewitz, Peppino D'Agostino, John Renbourn et al.
You can hear my first attempts at playing (and recording) some of this stuff here (really jusst early attempts)...

Location: Chicago | That's a beautiful set of tunes, Dweezil. I especially liked the low-tuned groove of "Foxglove": You may be amused to know that I actually find some of the McLaughin chordal stuff EASIER to do finger-style than the psycho cross-picking he's cooked up.
BTW that walnut Elite is stunning. Never saw one like that, anywhere.... |

thanks!!!! As I said early attempts...
The pics of the walnut really don't it justice, it's a beauty!
Whislt the Walnut has made great friends with the 84C it still pines for it's true love : the 12 string. I would not be a very good father it I didn't find one of these for it...

The 1537 is well known to be the best wood top Ovation they made, kinda a wood topped Adamas if you like. IT'S A TONE MONSTER.
The Walnut is SSB and has a much darker tone. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | An update :
Born In The Sea. Can now play it flawlessly at performance speed. Lovely tune, pretty straight forward apart from a couple of tricky left hand fingerings required to play it correctly, i.e to let the strings ring out as he does. Will get round to recording it at some point. How is everyone else getting on?
Now on the the next one :) |

Location: Marlton, NJ | I can play "Born In The Sea" - not flawlessly yet - and usually too fast. I had to redo a few of the fingerings to accommodate my small fingers and there's still one or two that are pretty iffy. |

I also noticed a couple of mistakes in the tab (at least to my untrained ears)- measures 30 and 31. |

Grab from the above link. I still have not scored the tiny variations he plays during the da capo repeat but you can add these in as you see fit.
This is now a much better transcription. Any problems let me know and I'll update |
