Emmons Cross Variation

Post by Steve Richter »

PF does this at the end of the second verse fills on AJ's Fairwell Party. Goes from V to the I ... my take on it anyhow

bb == lower a whole tone

Steve,
Thanks for posting your tab.
The first three notes of that... they stick out in my mind forever, as that perfect little fill Lloyd Green played in Paycheck's "Apartment #9"
Loneliness surrounds me, (lick)<i>
without your arms around me"</i>
He's too cool

Try out this interpretation. Please note on part "A," strings 1 and 4 are picked only once, the rest is slide and sustain and squashing knee levers. On part "B," the first two hits at the 13th fret do not require blocking so the fill kinda sounds like bells. Timing and feel will ultimately come from your innards!
