Donna Lee: Tune of the Month, Jan '07

WowBobWow

Hi,

Here's the head an octave lower. As I've never been happy with a lot of the fingerings I've seen in many transcriptions I made this version in a way I like to finger the tune with g-picking (of course, the fingerings & chords are debatable...)

May it hopefully be helpful & enjoy,

Jan

Now here is a take on donna lee I have not imagined before:


Picking style with the oud players is similar to that of gypsy picking, but I have never been sure what those guys are using for a pick.

Yeah ... looks like he's got the Gypsy Picking book too

look for "PRT SC" or "Sys Rq"

that should be the button.

oops just realised that Timmy gave some directions.

The melody is a workout (I've attached a pdf below for download) and I'd be interested to hear about how people decide to finger it...

As soon as I work out how to do it I will post how I play it. I see that most people start it on the 4th fret, I start on the 8th. It is a really complicated tune fingering wise. I've only just started to learn it so its a bit confusing.
