Windham Hill recording- Aerial Boundaries Transcribed by Michael Gunter. Most of the credit for this transcription should go to David Morse , whose transcription set me on the right track. I saw a bunch of little problems so I decided to redo it a bit. I know it's not yet perfect, but hey -- Michael Hedges is too much a god for us mortals to ever aspire to copy. One thing I'd really like to know if someone out there does: How does he get such explosive harmonics (measures 4, 12, 16, etc...)? Any glaring problems? I'm at . P.S. I've seen Jeff Lo's partial transcription of "Ragamuffin". I've tried to finish it, but I can't. Help!! Tuning: CGDGAC, capo III 4/4 time, except in measures 18 and 21 (3/4). | = The quarter note beats. . = Eighths between beats. Let notes ring throughout, especially where indicated by ====. | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | .
