Tommy Emmanuel - Classical Gas gitaar tab
Je score:
Here is the version of Classical Gas found on Tommy's new instructional video UP CLOSE. It's an entirely acoustic piece which sounds great as a solo. This song is fairly difficult to play in some areas. It contains false harmonics and separate thumbing. The only way you're really going to do this song justice is with a thumb pick. You'll definitely need it if you want crisp harmonics. I will represent the shaped harmonics by tabbing the fingering as normal and the fingering for the harmonics above it.The way to play these if you haven't seen it done before is to hold the chord specified, then holding your first finger on the harmonic while plucking the string with your thumb(pick) behind the first finger. If you want to learn from the master, buy the UP CLOSE video. Normal harmonics I will place a ~ above. Here we go In the key of Am. " = 10th Fret ! = 11th Fret @ = 12th Fret # = 13th Fret * = 19th Fret & = 18th Fret h = hammer on p = pull off x = Mute Strings The intro has no steady timing. I'll specify the mood....

If you memorise my symbols for the higher frets it may make it a little easier! I put most of the finger picking in as part of the tab. He uses a lot of it to fill out the sound between the melody.
