Michael Hedges'   THE NAKED STALK
	transcribed by Steve Shikaze

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, here is the TAB I promised to make available for Michael
Hedges 'The Naked Stalk'.  The tuning is DADEAB and here's how to
re-tune your guitar.  Lower the first string until it equals the B of the
second string; then lower the second string until it is one octave above
the A of the fifth string; and tune down the third string until it is one
octave above the E of the sixth string;  finally, lower the sixth string
down to one octave below the D of the fourth string.


This is my first attempt at tabbing, so please give me your opinions.
In bars 10, 12, 14, 25, 26, barre the 3 lower strings with the 3rd finger
while fretting the third string with your pinky; in bars
3,4,7,8,15,16,23,24, barre 3 lower strings with first finger and fret
upper notes with 2nd and 3rd fingers

Other notes s = slide
            h= (x2444x@1)hammer on
            p = pull off

Good Luck (I found it easier once I heard the song a few times)

Again, let me know how you make out
