WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Metheny Pat - Travels Chords | Ver. 1
This is my first posting.
I discovered guitar tabs on FTP anonymous sites few days ago
and in the meanwhile I've been sacking all the time !!
So, even if it takes a long time to write tabbed files,
it is right and proper for me to submit guitar passages that I've learned
First of all I will try to remedy to a big lack, sending the tabs
of one of the best guitarists in the world, i.e. Pat Metheny.
Here I tabbed "TRAVELS' one of his easiest titles, but really exciting.
This masterpiece is played by Pat using a semi-acustic electric guitar
but I think it sounds nice also on an acoustic one.
I'm quite sure what I play is exact and corresponding to
what Pat does. May be he uses some different positions, but this
comes also from personal styles. In any case it is
possible that I made some mistakes in writing the TABS.
I hope someone will enjoy playing this ...
Cut here:
******************************************************************************
PAT METHENY: TRAVELS ( from the album "Travels" )
from A. Derossi
The notation is:
^ = legato ( hammer on, pull off)
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
' = acciaccatura ( very fast note )
x = muted string
The time is 4/4. I tried to give an indicative time subdivision
with the numbers 1 2 3 4 over the tabs. I hope it helps.
I also wrote indicative chords.
