Tab Realm

Ballerina Lake by Scott Matthews




                              Ballerina Lake 







Tuning:DGDF#Ad

Capo 3rd fret.

NOTE: I tried to find a tab on the internet somewhere that could give me an idea of how 
to play this amazing song, unfortunately I came up empty handed.

I do think that this is the correct tuning, Scott uses DADF#Ad a lot, so I was messing 
around with that tuning, and dropping the 5th string down to a G seemed to do the trick.
I'd welcome any suggestions, this is just how I think he plays it.

Bear in mind this is just a guide, I haven't figured out all the little arpeggios in 
between, this will give you a structure to work with





Intro/ Verse Riff

d |-----0-----------0------0------0------|
A |9------9----9------9------9-----------|
F#|---10----10---10-----10-----10--------|
D |--------------------------------------|
G |------------0-------------------------|
D |9-------------------------------------|

d |----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--|
A |4-----4----/7-----7-----7-----7-----4-----4------|
F#|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0----|
D |-------------------------------------------------|
G |------------------------0-----------0------------|
D |4----------/7------------------------------------|

So you can mess around with those notes, the bass notes are correct I think, but the 
arpeggios are anyone's call, this is what I've been trying, although I'm still trying to 
figure out what he plays exactly.
