Pentamento bass

Pentamento

Just so this tab makes sense, remember that the song is in 5/4 time,
the notes basically just fall on the first (1) and fourth (4) beats of that rhythm

|--3---3--3---3--1---1--1---1----------------3---3--3---3--|
|------------------------------2---2--2---2----------------| x 2 or so

Played behind the flute, obviously

Then...

Then - hey, ya know, why not this again? Let's give the flute a nice solo...

|----------------------------------------------------------|

|--1---1--1---1--4---3--1----------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------2---2--2---2--|
|---------------------------2--4---4--4---4----------------|

Then some stuff happens, just fooling around with the C, Bb, F#, C pattern, and then...

|----------------| x Repeat to fade

And there's another great Manteca song YOU can now stumble through! Yay!
Such a great song; a soothing Celtic breezy feel to it, so smooth that it doesn't even 
feel like it's in an odd time signature...
But yeah, just make sure you get locked in the 1 and 4 beat pocket, and everything will 
be fine!
Colleen played flute on this song at the Sean O'Sullivan theatre in St. Catharines a 
couple nights ago, and it sounded just magnificent - great job!
Jam on!
