I didn’t make this tab, but I posted it on my Tab/Sheet page anyways. It’s Leo Kottke’s “Cripple Creek.”

Here’s what it sounds like…

Just added tab for Sitting On Top of the World on the Tab/Sheet page. This is pretty much the Doc Watson version with some stuff I made up at the end.

Here’s my video again to hear what it sounds like. Maybe it can help if anyone wants to use it to learn along with the tab.

I tabbed out Leo Kottke’s Crow River Waltz on my Tab/Sheet page if anyone’s interested. This is my first attempt at tabbing. I used Guitar Pro 5, which is a godsend.
I reposted my video below to go with the tab. It’s in open G tuning. It’s pretty easy, and fun to play. It’s meant to be on a 12-string, but should still sound pretty on a 6-string.

Wuddup pervs. It takes me about 3 months to retune my 12-string, so while I’m still in open G tuning I thought I’d slip in another quickie. This is Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” Leo Kottke style.

Here’s another song I recorded tonight - “Sunflower River Blues,” by John Fahey. I’m on my 12-string with fingerpicks, as usual.

Grab some bourbon.
Hope you enjoy.

I’ve been posting some fingerpicking guitar videos on my Youtube site. So far they are just me recording myself in my room. I’m not happy with the recording quality, but it’s the best I can do with my old camera and Youtube. The quality really deteriorates when I try to record anything fast, or if I use the 12-string. For some reason the camera has a hard time accurately capturing the sound of the 12-string, and just doesn’t do it justice. It can sound like a jangly pile of crap. I should be posting some videos of my show at Cafe Nomad in a few days, too. It’s one of the first times I’ve used the cello for a whole solo show….hell it’s one of my first solo shows, period.
But for now, below are two clips: “Doc’s Guitar,” and “Sitting On Top of the World.” Check out the others at youtube.com/josiahaltschuler. If you’re interested in Doc Watson, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, etc., that’s what I’m into right now…
