GUEST,Godfrey ADD: Road to Drumleman (Mitchell/Cuffe)-chords? (14) RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Road to Drumleman (Tony Cuffe) 23 Aug 11


I just saw this post and it's already a month old, so don't know what kind of interest level there is in taking this further, but here goes for what it's worth.

Tony Cuffe tabbed some details of this tune out for six string guitar for me sometime back in 1993 or so. He was teaching me his Celtic guitar style during visits to his home in Arlington, Ma.

As I coincidence, a week ago, I copied Tony's notes on that song for my brother, who expressed and interest in it.

I don't remember what the original instrument on the album recording was, either a mando' or tenor guitar, I think, but Tony tabbed out the main patterns for me and noted chord changes in the lyrics for six string guitar.

I don't have any of that with me at the moment, but can retrieve it and post more details if people express further interest.

For now, I remember that he used chords in open G tuning, which simplified the left-hand work. I have his notes on chord forms in open C (which he used frequently), Open G and Am also.
