Hi Everyone, Does anyone have the tab or an idea as to how Chet did the opening harmonic section of letter edged in black?


Thanks

Hi Tom-

Chet used two different harmonic techniques in this tune- the harmonic and pure tone on adjacent strings (played like a steel guitarist, with a sweep of the thumbpick), and usual method he used (such as on the intro to "White Christmas").

I covered the harmonic sections (intro, first verse, and ending) in AGW Vol 9 No 1. It's available from the AGW back issues page on my website:
