Song Title: Sixty Years On
Artist: Sir Elton John
Tabbed By: bmchrestoff (August 3, 2016 to August 13, 2016)
2) The picking pattern in the Intro is not EXACTLY like the pattern
the Harp follows but is close enough that no one will really notice.
I personally use a modified Travis Picking style and so I originally
tabbed this to fit my natural fingering technique
3) For the first 24 seconds or so of the song the Intro consists of
the String section of the orchestra noodling around to create a series
dissonant notes leading up to the Fade Up of the Harp. I did not tab this
first 24 seconds because it's not fretboard friendly and.......well
it's weird. I just jumped right into the Harp tab to start the song
4) The song really doesn't have a Chorus in the traditional sense
5) The Musical Interlude 2 was very guitar Fretboard UNFRIENDLY but I think
I managed to pull enough out of it that it works. You may opt to just
skip it altogether and jump into Verse 3
6) What makes this song so inviting is the fact the Harp in the Intro can
be transcribed fairly accurately to play on an Acoustic Guitar that is
fairly easy to play and will really impress you friends
7) Please rate and as always Comments are welcomed
