Sloop John B - Travis style plus slurs
Thought I'd share another simple fingerstyle solo arrangement that I created. Sloop John B, often credited to the Beach Boys in the mid 60's, is apparently an old Bahamas sea shanty song. I arranged it Travis style for a fun bounce, and added several slurs to help approximate the melody. The double pull-offs are still a challenge for me, but pretty cool sounding when I can pull it off at speed - still working on consistency.

Thanks.
That song brings back childhood memories of my big sister and me, listening to 45's on a cheap record player. I have recently been learning a version of Sloop John B in the key of G that I sometimes call Carter style. But it's really closer to a boom/chuck with alternate bass notes and multiple walk ups and downs. I sometimes include an instrumental bridge(?) that is mainly a verse with solo picking of the melody notes. |

Very nice of you to share the tab you create.
