I know the chords are pretty simple. Just wondering if someone has worked it out with the same open sound. Thanks.

My partner plays it on his 12-string and I add some fills, but I can't say I have an arrangement. We play in the key of Emaj.
Yes, I do! Look for it and other favorites on my web page of arrangements:

Just looked at your site - very nice! I was able to access a few PDFs - but each of the two links for Melissa return a "404 Page Not Found" error.Quote:

Please try again! I assure you that these PDFs are now available. Ironically, those are the only two that were missing.
D'oh!
Ah, the curse of "Melissa," mentioning a crossroads and all, thus inviting trouble. ;) Thanks for posting those and fixing them. I do want to say there's something amiss with the registration, at least how it's displaying for me. Some of the chords are askew, not in a straight line, for the octave as well, though not as much.
Also, on "A Pirate Looks At Forty," I've always played the refrain Am7 | Bm7 Am7 | G
Thanks for the effort you've put into posting all these, and for your choices and taste in music. :cool:
Given my history of killing threads, I will apologize in advance. This is yet another installment in “Mandolin BY A Dummy” (not For dummies).
Attached find my cheat sheet for playing mandolin lines behind acoustic guitars; I did not attempt indicating rhythm or articulation (over than some pull offs and HOs). I also do not replicate the recording exactly; this is my interpretation.
The OP referred to the ‘open sound’ and I stress all the open E strings I can where appropriate, and I have included my ‘go to’ chord grips for behind flat tops.
Now we get to the part where I ask for comments and suggestions and am met by crickets; good night sweet thread, I hardly knew ye!
It's a feature, not a bug. :)Quote:

Perhaps that did not work as well as I intended, and it ends up being just distracting...?
they covered it on "Pickin' on the Allman Brothers" though i am not familiar with the arrangement
Very cool! Not familiar with the band though. Sorry, had to backtrack! I’m impressed with a lot of what “Iron Horse” does!
You are not familiar with the Allman Brothers? Man, do you have a treat in store. Gregg Allman wrote this tune.Quote:
