GENTLE ON MY MIND (JOHN HARTFORD) 


About 

Originally by John Hartford and made famous in the version of Glen Campbell. 

 

Original Key

don’t know

 

Tuning 

Low G preferred, but to a great extent also works in re-entrant

 

Tab Notes

This is more of a chord exercise with some chromatically descending notes over the same root chord than a real fingerstyle instrumental. The melody is sometimes „hidden“ in the picking pattern. [ A ] is the intro, [ B ] is the sung part, the red dotted line marks the fillers between the sung phrases.

One tricky part (bars 9 and 10): to reach the high note on 1st string, I play the lower notes on 2nd fret (3rd and 4th string) with a barre. Tabbed upon request. Good fun.
