Neil Gows Apprentice tab by Marra Michael
Guitar Tab
"Niel Gow's Apprentice" by Michael Marra Transcribed from MM's album "On Stolen Stationery". At the end of this file, I have included guitar TABs for two sections of the song: the 4-bar intro between verses and the fiddle solo during the instrumental verse. The fiddle solo is played mostly with a half-barre at fret 2, which might seem strange but it makes it easy to play it in another key, which you will have to unless you have a gravelly voice like MM. Chords in the verse are the same as the chorus. Comments/amendments etc. welcome. A E A A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
