Back to Flatpick Page Click a song in the left-hand column to see the tablature. The tablature is in ASCII format, so you can save it and print it. I've written a brief explanation of how tablature works, for those who are not familiar with it.
The center column has links for WAV versions of the songs, while the right-hand column has MP3 versions.
The WAV files range in size from about 120K to 390K, so they take some time to download. If you get an audio window that doesn't seem to be doing anything, be patient. Leave it open and go do something else for a few minutes. The MP3 files are smaller and download faster, but require software to listen to them. (iTunes is part of the newer Mac systems.)
I tend not to play anything exactly the same way twice, so there are mismatches between the songs as written and as played. This is due to lack of skill, rather than any deep philosophical reason.
As far as I'm concerned, all the links from this page may be freely downloaded and distributed. Just be aware that some of the tunes are copyrighted, so they will require royalty payments if they are published for profit.
I recorded the songs right at my desk, on my Macintosh. I'm very grateful to Greg Hyde of Assimilated Multimedia for his help in reducing the size of the sound files, increasing the volume, and generally cleaning them up. If you need a creative consultant, check out his Web page.
I've also posted a lot of tabs that were posted to the FLATPICK-L mail list. These tabs do not have sound files.
