Michael Hedges' THE NAKED STALK
transcribed by Steve Shikaze
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, here is the TAB I promised to make available for Michael
Hedges 'The Naked Stalk'. The tuning is DADEAB and here's how to
re-tune your guitar. Lower the first string until it equals the B of the
second string; then lower the second string until it is one octave above
the A of the fifth string; and tune down the third string until it is one
octave above the E of the sixth string; finally, lower the sixth string
down to one octave below the D of the fourth string.
This is my first attempt at tabbing, so please give me your opinions.
In bars 10, 12, 14, 25, 26, barre the 3 lower strings with the 3rd finger
while fretting the third string with your pinky; in bars
3,4,7,8,15,16,23,24, barre 3 lower strings with first finger and fret
upper notes with 2nd and 3rd fingers
Other notes s = slide
h = hammer on
p = pull off
Good Luck (I found it easier once I heard the song a few times)
Again, let me know how you make out

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MICHAEL HEDGES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
