CBG Tabs

So you built your CBG and now you need something to play on it, right? Well, if you're not completely musically inclined or can't read traditional music, tabs are your answer. If you're like me, you read tabs and sometimes make them. Paste'em here.

Remember...

Tabs here is as a learning tool -- NOT for profit.

I'll also upload some blank tab sheets. Just let me know what you think and if I need to add anything.

So, as a music newbie, is there a process for translating standard 6 string music from the books I can buy in my local guitar store into something I can play on my fretted cbg tuned to gdg? Thanks, MC

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee (for 3-string fretless slide) This is for you Wes, thanks for hanging out and messing with Tux Guitar with me. I'm getting the hang of it!

Keith - I don't have anything concrete to share, but with a tuning like that, you need to searching for banjo tabs and ignoring the 5th string.

Of course it never print out right on this discussion page but you get the idea.

One thing you can do is play it in open G using barred 0-5-7 chords

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind but now I see.
Where the 0-5-7 are the barred frets.

Thanks Wes, but I think I should have been more specific.I am playing a 4 string CBG tuned to open G (DGBD).

Amazing Grace.pdf But keep in mind this is Diatonic [like a dulcimer] and not Chromatic. -WY

Hi all, does anybody have a good tab arrangement for Amazing Grace ?

To "greg" who wanted P/F "Wish you were here"... Here you go. Chords only with fingering tabs.
