New Year's Day Solo - Charlie Robison

Post by Stone Preston »

Here is a tab I did for the solo in New Year's Day by Charlie Robison. It's my first tab but I think its pretty close.

Nice job, Stone.

I have few ideas here. First, there's a typo at the very beginning of the second line of the tab -- those two 3rd string hits should be 3~3A. But you knew that...

As for the ascending run that begins in line 3, I slowed that down in YouTube to 50% and this is what I came up with. It's played as a series of triplets. The notes on the 6th string are really soft and you lean into the notes on the 5th. This is a good stock run and you'll hear variations of it in other tunes ("She's Acting Single" and "White Line Cassanova" come to mind).

1___________________________________________________9~10_____
2 ____________________________________________________________
3 ____________________________________________________________
4 ___________________________________________10_____________10
5 _2~3__3___5__5__8___8__10___10__10A___10A_______10A___10A___
6 _____3_____5B_____8______10B_______10B______________________
7 ____________________________________________________________
8 ____________________________________________________________
9 ____________________________________________________________
10 __________________________________________________________

And the very last line might be this:
1 __________________________________________________________
2 __________________________________________________________
3 __________________________________________________________
4 __________________________________________________________
5 _10~10A___10~10A~~~10____________________________________
6 _10~10B___10~10B~~~10___10B______________________________
7 __________________________________________________________
8 __________________________________________________________
9 __________________________________________________________
10 _________________________________________________________
