Calypso

(From the album Ivy and the Big Apples) Transcribed by Andrew Loch ([email protected]) The previous tabs had the chord progressions wrong and were incomplete because they didn't tab the 2nd riff which I hope I've tabbed correctly. Below, I've transcribed how I think it's played. Listen to the song to see what order it's played in. Riff 1 (played 1st and 3rd times): e---0--------2--------0--------2----- B-----2--------3--------0--------3--- G-2-----2--2-----2--1-----1--2-----2- D------------------------------------ A------------------------------------ E------------------------------------ The above riff is played with pick and the 2nd (middle) and 3rd (ring) fingers such that the pick plays the string, the 2nd finger the string and the 3rd finger the e string. Alternatively, you could use just fingers with thumb, index and middle fingers but it makes changing to chords difficult. Chord prog. 1: G-----5-5-7-7-9-9- D-7-7-5-5-7-7-9-9- A-7-7-3-3-5-5-7-7- E-5-5------------- Chord prog. 2: G----------------- D-7-7-6-6-4-4-2-2- A-7-7-6-6-4-4-2-2- E-5-5-4-4-2-2-0-0- Chord prog. 3: G-7-7-9-9----- D-7-7-9-9-7-7- A-5-5-7-7-7-7- E---------5-5- Riff 2 (played 2nd time): G-----------7-------9-------7----- D---7---------7-------9-------7--- A-----7---5-----5-7-----7-5-----5- E-5-----5------------------------- Whit often doesn't play the above riff live but just strums the chords.
