WHAT CHILD IS THIS - Misc Christmas
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: ThisIsNotDan
Tuning: Standard
My first submission! Basically a series of arpeggios based on the chords, with a
bit of discretion used as to which 5 notes in a 6-note chord are played. I think
the song sounds a lot better this way than with strumming the chords or picking
the individual notes. Substitute your own musical prowess if you feel there are
better ways to pick the notes; my unschooled mind just went with what sounded good
to my unschooled ear.
That said, I think this is best read in 6/8 time, with each each hyphen
representing a 16th note. But I could be totally wrong on that.
CAPO 5 (or wherever your vocal range happens to fall; the first 2 notes you play
on the G and B strings are the first two notes of the melody)
