Tuning BEBEBE capo 4th fret



main pattern (A):

      * *
 |----------------|
 |--0--0----------|
 |7---7--0-3--2---|
 |0--00-00-0--00--|
 |7---5--3-00-2-0-|
0|-----------0---0|
  r        r
  m        mi       (picking suggestions - works for me)
t t        t t


notes - the open 3rd strings at * are a bit optional.

2nd pattern (B):

|------------0---|----------------|     |------------0---|
|--0------0---0--|--0--0-------0--|     |----------0-----|
|0---3--5---5--5-|0---3---2--2-2--| rpt |02-3-5-70--0----|
|-0-0-3--5-5----5|-0-0--3--2-0----| 1st |--0-0-0--0------|
|0---3--5----5---|0---3---2--2--2-| bar |02-3-5-70-------|
|----------------|-----------0---0|     |----------------|
       *                 *  *

note - these gaps tend to get filled by open string noises (not
picked) during the left-hand moves. Try not to make your playing
too smooth or you won't hear them!


after some more (A) and (B) we hit (C):


|----------------|--5---------0---|        ----0---|
|----------0-----|---5------0--0--|        --0-----|
|02-3-5-7---7----|----5---0--0--0-| (x2;   ---0----|
|--0-0-0--0---0--|-5---5---0-----0| ends:  -0----0-|
|02-3-5-7------7-|5-----550-------|        0-------|
|--------0---0---|----------------|        --------|


and then (D):

           *            *     *              *
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
|----3-----3-----|5-----5-----5---|----3-----3-----|0-----0-----0---|
|----2-----2-----|4-----4-----4---|----2-----2-----|4-----4-----4---|
|----0-----0-----|0-----0-----0---|----0-----0-----|0-----0-----0---|
|0-0---000---00--|0-000---000---00|--0---000---000-|0-000---00------|
|--------------3-|----------------|3---------------|----------0---3-|
 t t l tit
     r
     m

notes - this is double speed of course to get the quick triple notes
in. there are lots of variations in the bass strings part so treat
the above as a sample of some.
also, playing the 5th string open at * duplicates the flute line.
I find the only left-hand fingering that makes sense for 300230 and
300450 are mxxilx and mxxrlx.


er..and then (E):

|----------------|-----0-----0----|
|--0-1---0--1-0--|--0--0--0--0-0--|
|--1-1---1--1-1-0|--0--0--0--0-0--|
|-3---3-3--3---3-|--1-----1----123|
|3--3--3--3--3---|-3--3--3--3-----|
|----------------|1--1--1--1--1---|
                             *
                          (il imrl)

|----------------|-----0-------0-----0----|
|--0-1---0--1-0--|--0--0----4--4--4--4--4-|(this last
|--1-1---1--1-1-0|--0--0----2--2--2--2--2-| bit extended
|-3---3-3--3---3-|--1-------0--0--0--0--0-| 2nd time
|3--3--3--3--3---|-3--3--3-2--2--2--2--2--| round)
|----------------|1--1--1-0--0--0--0--0---|

(nb the bass strings are a bit approximate due to the bass in the
track itself)
note - at * you might want to try adding a 1st fret on the B string
to duplicate the flute melody - bit difficult though. Likewise a
3rd fret on the bottom string fills out bars 1&3 but is tricky!



and (F):

|---------4------|-2--------------|
|--0-------4-----|---------0---0--| (x4 - some
|7---67-7----67-5|---4-5-5---4----| variations
|-0------4-------|--2---2---0---0-| 3rd and 4th
|0--0--04---4----|2---2---0---0---| times round)
|----------------|----------------|
(l   ll)


then we have some (E) and some (B) to finish.
