Hi
I am looking for a guitar and banjo player who might be able to transcribe something for me. It would also be helpful if said person is a Crowded house fan
I would like to re-arrange the Crowded House song 'pineapple head' for banjo (as I think it would sound good) but as I don't know how banjos are tuned I can't do it myself!
Here is the guitar tab for the main motif that I'm interested in transcribing, as found on AZchords.com:
Capo 3rd fret.
3/4 time-I think. It may be 6/8. Not sure. There is a bit of a difference between the two.
Intro Motif:
D G F C
|-5---3-2-----|-3-----------|-1-----------|-0h1p0---------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------3---1---|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
Bridge Motif:
D G D D
|-5---3-2-----|-3-----------|-2-----------|-2p0-----0-----|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|-----3---------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
|-------------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
If anyone can help I'd be very pleased. Also, full chords and lyrics for song can be found on AZchords.com or if you like I can post them here if that helps.
Thanks in advance
