From: Malc BrookesSubject: TAB: Albatros by Fleetwood Mac for Acoustic Guitar Albatros by Fleetwood Mac Tabbed by Malc Brookes (malc@malbro.demon.co.uk) I arranged this for solo acoustic guitar several years ago. In section B the bass switches from F# to A (which keeps the F#m feel, IMO) as it wasn't possible to keep the original melody and bass. In section C the melody is dropped a whole octave, which allows the F# bass line to be preserved and sounds better, I feel, on an acoustic than playing it above the 12th fret.

thought it was okay and sent it. But I have since discovered a tiny error, so here's the corrected version. Albatros by Fleetwood Mac Tabbed by Malc Brookes (malc@malbro.demon.co.uk) I arranged this for solo acoustic guitar several years ago. In section B the bass switches from F# to A (which is in the chord of F#m) as it wasn't possible to keep the original melody and bass. In section C the melody is dropped a whole octave, which allows the F# bass line to be preserved and sounds better, I feel, on an acoustic than playing it above the 12th fret.
