Gary Carter - Shenandoah string movement

Post by Larry Behm »

At .30 seconds Gary holds a note and then lowers maybe 2 strings. Got any idea what he is doing. Maybe a 12 string guitar?

This is a great CD, talk about tone to the bone and great execution, this is the stuff that blows my skirt up. (Only on the weekends :D :D )

That does sound great...... here's what I get.

P3 engaged - strings 10 and 7 open - bar only string 5 @ 3rd fret.

Release P3

Add Franklin pedal and slide bar @ the 5th string up to 4th fret.

....Edited as above - tab would be better. :?

Jerry, since you live in Nashville, go over to his house and get the secrete. I have a friend with the Franklin change I will have to see him and try it.

I'm resurrecting this old thread.

I'm about to tackle his version - exactly, if I can (minus the touch-and-tone, I hasten to add. :)

I do know Gary have a kl raising 4 and 6 a whole step. I've yet to determine if that's relevant to this piece.

He remains my favourite E9th player!
