    Default Joe K. Walsh - Pogo Big

    Anybody playing this tune? I play a very rudimentary version of it and was wondering if anyone had the melody tabbed out or has chord charts written up for it. If so, I'd be quite thankful if you'd be willing to share it. Also, I've seen where Joe mentions he wrote the melody based on a chord progression for a fiddle tune that Darol Anger re-harmonized on a Brittany Haas album. Any body know which tune he is talking about?

    Thanks!

    I actually have tab & notation from Joe himself (from a workshop). I'll have to figure out how to scan and post it.

    The other tune he was referencing is Dry and Dusty, which he also gave us notation for (no tab). When I figure it out, I'll post that one also.

    He teaches Dry and Dusty also in his (excellent) Peghead Nation lesson series:

    I know it's been a while, but would still be very interested in the notation being made available.

    I've decided not to post the notation I got from Joe, since he gave it just for class participants to have for their own use. However, I've transcribed the way that I remember the tune. I haven't been able to get the timing and nuances the way that I'd like, but it gives one a good grasp of the melody.

    And... I just noticed that first eighth note of the B section somehow got chopped out of the transcription. It's a B, second fret on the A course.
