Fingerstyle Tabs
Below are some fingerstyle songs that I've written in TAB and MP3. I'm not the greatest recording technician (nor the greatest fingerstylist for that matter) so my apologies for the subpar quality. I recorded these on Audacity, which is freeware. It's an incredible little program for the right price. You can download it here.
- Roadtrip
- A song I wrote in the car on a trip down to Zephyr Hills, Florida from Virginia at about 5 am watching the sun come up on I-95.
- The Balcony
- I wrote this one about a club I used to hang out at at VA Tech. I think it's still there but has a different name now...I'm not sure.
- A Day With You
- This is for my wife, Jeanine. She rocks the Kasbah and I think she's swell. The song really doesn't do her justice but it's fun to play nontheless. Hope you like it.
- The Mary Song
- There's no Mary really. I don't know why I named it that except that when I wrote the song it had lyrics. I rewrote the melody for fingerstyle. It's my hardest to play so forgive my mistakes.
- A New Flower
- This song I wrote my bud, Kevin when he was getting married. It's kinda the story of him and his wife, Kathy. I actually use this one in the Composing section of this site as an example of one way to write for fingerstyle acoustic.
- The Balcony
- I wrote this one about a club I used to hang out at at VA Tech. I think it's still there but has a different name now...I'm not sure.
- Three Sisters
- Basically I had three ideas for different songs and I was trying to figure out modulation as best as my feeble, little mind could comprehend. This is what I came up with. Three (at least) phrases that I tried to tie together using modulation.
- Carousel
- No idea what inspired this one really. but after it was done I needed a name and the melody reminded me of riding a carousel. So I said sure, that'll work.
- Aidan's Lulliby
- I used to play this to my son, Aidan, while he was in his crib. Amazing kid. riding a carousel. So I said sure, that'll work.
