"La Gavotte" Guitar Tabs - Buckethead (Electric Sea, 2012) Tabs arranged by MitchellHallMusic. June 30, 2014 Arranger's Note: Buckethead used slight variations for each recurring theme, so subtleties like added notes to a chord, tempo and dynamic changes are found frequently in every variation in his album recording. That being said, this is a classical piece, so these subtleties could be brought into your performance of this piece however you like. I encourage you to experiment with dynamic and filling in chord notes, even finding other positions to play the same note, such as with the Bb Mixolydian and C Aeolian scales at the end of "Theme A2". This is a great piece to learn, as discovering your way to ?sing? this song is a key component to producing an outstanding cover track. A demonstration video will be uploaded on YouTube on my channel, MitchellHallMusic. Please give this tab some love by liking it, rating it generously, and even sharing it to your friends!
