Eddie Lang music...

[JohnnyD]

yo!

its been a long time, hope everyone's OK?

I'm trying to find the music to Eddie Lang's 'a handfull of riffs' so that me and my friend can learn it. I have it on CD, i just want either the sheet music or tab or anything but i can't find it anywhere :(

does anyone know where I can find it?

Sorry I don't know where in the UK you can find that stuff... Eddie Lang is such a player... I like it as much as I like Django. Good luck!

really not looking forward to working this one out by ear! :(

I think you should try. It must be great fun plus good ear training

ok i'm gonna give it a go with the help of my friend. he's a composer and guitar/piano teacher so he should be a great help. he's really up for learning the lead part too which is good as i doubt i'd be able to play it in a million years!

right, so far i've worked out that the rhythm guitar is tuned to D A D F# A D and i've kind of worked out the first 12 bars.

no idea about the lead guitar yet!

only another few hundred bars to go! :(

cool, i found a book with the music in. it's called "Masters of the Plectrum Guitar" by William Bay if anyone's interested.... doesn't sound like anyone is though.

well, i ordered the book and it turned up on friday. The problem is it's all in proper notation which i can read, just not very fast. also the rhythm guitar part is totally made up so i'm still having to work that out by ear.

got to 36 bars now :)

so no-one else has ever worked this out then? am i gonna be the first to work it out by ear (well the rhythm part anyway)? that would be cool :cool:

does anyone know what tuning the lead part is in? if the rhythm guitar is tuned to D does that mean the lead part would be too?
