"La Gavotte" Guitar Tabs - Buckethead (Electric Sea, 2012)

Tabs arranged by MitchellHallMusic.  June 30, 2014

Arranger's Note: Buckethead used slight variations for each recurring theme, so
subtleties like added notes to a chord, tempo and dynamic changes are found frequently
in every variation in his album recording.  That being said, this is a classical piece,
so these subtleties could be brought into your performance of this piece however you
like.
    I encourage you to experiment with dynamic and filling in chord notes, even finding
other positions to play the same note, such as with the Bb Mixolydian and C Aeolian
scales at the end of "Theme A2".  This is a great piece to learn, as discovering your
way to ?sing? this song is a key component to producing an outstanding cover track.

     A demonstration video will be uploaded on YouTube on my channel, MitchellHallMusic.

     Please give this tab some love by liking it, rating it generously, and even sharing

     Thanks for viewing! - M.H.
