New Day Yesterday

  1. Eddie Sheehy
    Martin Barre probably wouldn't play this on a bouzouki, but Ian Anderson might...

    I've tabbed out the solo for a mandolin - I just have to learn to play it...

    Way to play Eddie! Good looking shamrocks.

    Eddie, nice playing! And who else would do a Tull song on a Greek bouzouki with shamrocks on it?? I'll second the tab request.

    Eddie; that is flat out killer!
    I'd love to see that tab also.
    Oh, and this would sound fantastic on a solid-bodied e-mando played through a phase pedal set to a slow sweep, and into an amp with some reverb...Classic stuff. Well done.

    Congrats, very nice, I can hear Ian sitting & singing next to you.

    Thanks for the kind comments. I have a tab scribbled on the back of an electricy bill - I'll formalize it a bit - I'll also include the solo... that I haven't done yet...

    Let's see how this formats:

    b=Bend (Good luck with that on a mando - sometimes easier to slide up a fret or two)
    p=Pull off
    H=Hammer On
    \=Slide Down
    /=Slide Up
    hpfm=Hammer and Pull off really fast and many times. Listen to the
    Song to figure out how fast and how many times to do that.
    For a mando tuning (GDAE) subtract two frets to the top string...

    Now I have a hankering to try Aqualung - though it's more rock than blues...
