Subject: Re: Duane Allman Song Needed?
Where did you see Leo Kottke live? If I could see just one of his live
shows and/or his video, I could die and go to heaven with a smile.
Anyways, the song you're after is "Little Martha" and is archived from
Nevada. The 'Eat A Peach' version is actually Duane on an open-E tuned
acoustic and Dicky Betts playing back-up chords on a standard tuned
acoustic. I haven't yet been able to hear Leos' version mainly 'cause I
can't yet afford the CD. Try this for "Little Martha":
Little Martha
by: Duane Allman
Playing notes:
This instrumental is played in open E tuning (E B E G# B E).
Rather than tuning the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings up (which can
be really stressful on the neck), you can tune down to open D
(D A D F# A D) and capo at the second fret.
The thumb keeps time with a monotonic bass line while the
fingers play the melody. The structure of the tune is:
1 - Intro
1.
2 - Part 1 ending with
2.
3 - Repeat Part 1 ending with
4 - Part 2
To Coda
5 - Repeat Part 1 up until
6 - Coda
Chords used: numbers in grid indicate frets
numbers in parentheses are suggested fingerings
(1=index,2=middle,etc)
