For those preveleged enough to have such an instrument,
this tab is for 20 string sullivan elliott style harp guitar.
For best sound, tune the neck down a full step, then tune the sub bass
strings down accordingly.
Harmonics are relative to left hand position and bass notes are long.
Also note that while playing I often engage and disengage the sharping levers
on the bass strings as well as retune/alter/adjust the trebel strings during
play via violin fine tuners. This tab should be played on a 20 string
harp guitar (or a dyre 12 string harp guitar)
For tose with only a6 string guitar this tab can be
played along with a bass player and a lap harp playr. Unfortunatly this tab
was written in such a way as to heavily rely on bass drones in some areas.
The accompaniment notes can be left out completely if desired.
Stay a while......and listen.
