Here's is a link to a webpage on my website http://www.dbrooker.com/songtabs.html where you can down load a PDF that has a few songs tabed out using numbers for each fret to play the note of a song using a single string AKA diddley bow - Some years ago I figured it was easier for beginners to relate to numbers rather than notes - I've gotten more than a few "Thank yous" for them over the years - The people who thanked me were true beginners and were so happy they could down load the songs and play something in just minutes - Feel free to down load the PDF and pass it along or make it available to others in any way you wish - put it on your website so others can download it, print it out and give it a way, whatever - You can give me credit or not, I did not copyright it and my name is not on it - Just thought I would make the offer - Dennis Brooker

Since the one-string comp is just being released, here's the tab for Dark Cloud Coming which is on the CD:
\ \ \ \\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x | 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x | 0 3 0 3 5 | 7 7 5 7 7 | 5 3 0 |
Notes: x = damp the string while hitting it. \s are rhythm marks. 2 \s is a quarter note; 3 is an eighth note. Unmarked notes are the same length as the preceding note. The last measure is only 2 beats long (others are 4). This riff is repeated on the diddley bow all the way through the song.
