Red Haired Boy (DGDGCE), Marcel Ardans (Advanced)

If you’re interested in alternate tunings, crosspicking, floating and ringing strings this tab is for you. This is as pretty as this melody gets in an arrangement that is wildly unique. Included are two full breaks with tons of clever solutions for playing in this tuning, as well as a very different crosspicking tag. If you’re ready to re-tune that guitar check it out!

(Advanced guitar tabs generally include a very ornamented version of the melody, chord markings above (with extra extensions and variations), kick-offs, tags, and improvisation that drifts far from the melody at hand. Expect to come across hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides and more in all kinds of combinations as well as syncopation, triplets and other rhythmic challenges. These tabs are excellent if you want to get inside the head of another improviser and explore the choices that an advanced flatpicker might consider.)
