Anchored in Love - The Carter Family
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my attempt at The Carter Family's "Anchored in Love" as played on track 8
of "Anchored in Love." Both Ma and Sara play guitar on this one, with Ma playing
the lead and sara playing rythm. Sara (I think) is playing root-stum-strum
(in 6/8 time) while Ma fills it in with some bass runs and what not.
I have tabbed out Ma's part below. She hits the bass notes with her thumb and
brushes across the chords with her fingers ala the Carter Scratch.
On the record this song is in the key of B, so tune your guitar down 1/2 step to play along.
This is very likely how they played it (see the Carter Family entry in Weeniepedia).
V = brush down
^ = brush up
Tuning: 1/2 step down
(6/8 time, Key of B, C Position)
