LITTLE MARTHA (DUANE ALLMAN)


About

Written by Duane Allman, and performed as a guitar duet with Dickey Betts on the Allman Brothers Band album „Eat a Peach“. According to the guy who didn’t marry Pamela Brown this is "the most perfect guitar song ever written." I agree. No mimicking of vocal lines here, just plain instrumental fingerpicking fun.  

 

Original Key

E

 

Tuning 

Open D  (originally Open E, which I don’t like because of the high string tension, my guitar  permanently goes out of tune)

 

Tab Notes

This tab sheet is roughly based on several transcriptions from various old guitar magazines.  

As always, I was trying to ease things, added the intro (which was missing), changed the bass accompaniment to a more appropriate (in my opinion) alternating figure and so on.
