Subject: CRD: Jethro Tull, Minstrel in the Gallery (acoustic)


Minstrel in the Gallery acoustic portion
Ian Anderson
(transcribed by Paul Tarvydas tarvydas@tsctrl.guild.org)


capo 2nd fret

all chords relative to capo

/ = down strum

 = up strum

o = all strings open (if preceding Dsus2, then strings 1-4 open,
    if preceding A, then strings 1-5 open, if preceding G, then 1-6
    open)

note: The last line "the friends he'd made" is a typical Andersonian
chord-morph.  You should play with the fingering until you find
a combination which moves the fewest fingers at one time.  Anderson
likes to keep one finger planted and change the chords around it.  In
this case, I think he does the following.  He plants the 3rd finger of
the left hand as he changes from Dm to A7sus4.  Am to C, he plants the
1st finger.  C to Cadd9 he lifts the 3rd and places 2nd on the 6th
string, keeping the 1st and 4th fingers planted.
