I was able to restore my tab of Little Martha from backup tapes
(thank goodness for backups !). Here it is again.
Little Martha
by: Duanne Allman
Playing notes:
This instrumental is played in open E tuning (E B E G# B E).
Rather than tuning the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings up (which can
be really stressful on the neck), you can tune down to open D
(D A D F# A D) and capo at the second fret.
The thumb keeps time with a monotonic bass line while the
fingers play the melody. The structure of the tune is:
1 - Intro
2 - Part 1 ending with [1.]
3 - Repeat Part 1 ending with [2.]
4 - Part 2
5 - Repeat Part 1 up until [To Coda]
6 - Coda
Chords used: numbers in grid indicate frets
numbers in parentheses are suggested fingerings (1=index,2=middle,etc)
