Subject: Another Greensleeves tab
Hi, everybody. This is a tab for Greensleeves. I obtained it from Steven
Pasero's CD "Christmas Classics for Guitar" and it is the first one I am
posting on the web. So far I have only been able to find the intro.
Please have in mind that this is my interpretation of the song played in and by
Steven Pasero's CD "Christmas Classics for Guitar" and that it would be fair to
use it only for non-profitable purposes, giving credit to whom it is deserved.
Legend:
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off

Original title: Greensleeves
Composer: Anon./Francis Cutting (fl. 1583-c1603)
Source: Audio CD "Greensleeves"
(Deutsche Grammophon/Polydor, 1982)
Performer: Göran Söllscher
Transcribed by: Ralf Flicker (rflicker@mac.com)
Date: 22 June 2004 (first transcribed in 1994)

Originally submitted to Weed's Classical Guitar Tablature page
=============================================================
Notes:
Cutting's (original?) version of this renaissance classic
offers a a bit more for the classical guitarist than the
traditionally lame christmas ditty. Söllscher plays it on an
11-string alto guitar, tuned as the normal renaissance lute
(Bb-C-D-E-F/G-c-f-a-d-g). My transcription for the standard
6-string guitar uses E-A-D-G-B-d tuning. At the time (10 yrs
ago), it seemed like a reasonable compromise, rendering most
of the transcription very true to the original while still
being possible to play. I think now that standard tuning
would have been better, if slightly more compliacted to play,
but now I can't be bothered to redo it all, sorry. The one I
I give here is still a good version for the 6-string.
As intro (and outro), Söllscher plays the more commonly known
version of Greensleeves, which you may find a dozen or more
transcriptions of to choose from.
Comments and corrections welcome!

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend
r = bend release
/ = slide up/down

Comments and corrections are welcome.
[bars 9 and 13, basic chord changed from G to C
and end chord repeated in last bar - Weed Aug 98]
In 6/8 time, which is a little awkward to the untrained ears
(such as my own). This tab doesn't do a very good job at
correct timing, so you're on your own for that part.
