Trieste by Josh Lippi & The Overtimers
Trieste
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
While this is standard tuning GDae, the mandolin is tuned to 430hz on the band's
recording. Which makes it
39.8 cents flat of 440hz. This is not flat enough to warrant being notated
differently. If you tune down a
semitone to Gb/F#, you end up being too low again. Therefore, if you want to play
along with the recording,
you will have to detune your instrument to the above frequency or sound out of
tune. Other than that, this
tab can of course be played at the standard (or any) frequency, regardless.
There are two mandolin voices. They are playing an identical melody
simultaneously, but one octave apart.
Both voices play every note with tremolo. I was initially wondering whether an
octave pedal was used or
if the track was doubled and edited in the DWA. But Josh was kind enough to
inform me that he did record two
separate mandolin tracks on a 50's Kay electric mandolin for this.
