around with it that playing straight off the Db and Eb also sounds good.)

This next section is strumming around an A-minor at the first position and
either lifting the first finger off to form Asus2 (002200) or adding the 4th
finger on the second string third fret to form Asus4 (002230). These are
all eighth notes with no rests, but the chord change comes on the 4th note
of each measure (the 'and' of the second beat) like:
Strum: Asus2 Am Asus4 Am Asus2 Am Asus4 Am

INTRO:
3/4 time rubato, that is, played slowly "with feeling". Actually,
everyone wants to play it just like Mason does on the record...

* - arpeggio (The sheet music would denote this as three notes together
with a squiggly line. You are supposed to know that the notes are
not played together.)
** - triplet (fill in the space that two notes usually take up with
three evenly spaced notes.)
h - hammer on the next note.
THE MAIN PART:
Up-tempo 4/4 time. The signature riff makes this song and the sheet
music doesn't give a clue about how to play it.
Thumb and two fingers are probably needed at a minimum. In the first
bar, the thumb plays the A and D string notes. In the next two bars,
the thumb plays the E string notes, and in the fourth bar, it plays
the A and D string notes.
For the first measure, finger a normal Am chord. I find it works
well in the third measure to alternate the 2-0-2 on the G string
between the index and middle finger (play the B string notes with
your middle finger, the first G string note with your index, the
second G string note with you middle finger again, and the next G
string note with your index finger again. (just a suggestion).

E|----------------|3-----2-----0---|0-------0---0---|----------------|
Repeat 4 times.
* - pick the first note and hammer on and pull off the second and
third notes. pick the fourth. Thumb plays the A and D string notes
in the first measure.
I haven't had time to check the rest of the posted "sheet music"
for inaccuracies, but this first part is the important one. You
can probably get most of the rest from sheet music.
Enjoy, and don't give up. It is a very rewarding tune to play.

This is a different transcription than the one at nevada. Received in
email from a fellow who is not able to post to newsgroup. Enjoy!
BTW, does anybody have tab/chords for some of Mason's other great songs
such as Baroque-a-Nova or La Chanson de Claudine? Check out the CD called
Mason Williams Music: 1968-1971 for a nice selection of his work.

This is a transcription that I did from the orchestral
arrangement (I've never heard the solo guitar version). I think
it is pretty good (if I may say so myself!) and even includes a
manageable arrangement of the middle section (which apparently
not even Mason was game to take on by himself!). I hope you like
it. It is my 3rd favourite piece to play in the whole world.
Have fun, and give my regards to everybody on the news group. I
hope to get this bug sorted out so I can send some other stuff I
have tabbed up.
Cheers big ears,

[excellent tabbed version of Classical Gas deleted]
Great work John! I *had* to get the solo version before I managed
a good rendition of this. As my two cents, I'm including what I
posted to follow up the original "sheet music" post - I think that
must be the one in Nevada. The references are all to *that* post.
I can see by looking that you did an excellent job, but I don't
have a guitar handy to nit-pick.
Dave
P.S. I wish I had all of my Mason stuff online, but there just aren't
enough hours in the day....
P.P.S. What are your first and second favorite tunes to play?
=======more info on playing Classical Gas follows============
For those who (like myself when this song was popular) found
that the sheet music didn't provide the info on how to play this
song, here it is.
The hit record had a 6 string and a 12 string playing the exact
same thing with a full orchestra behind to boot. Guess what - you
can't sound like the record. If you ever saw Mason Williams
performing this with orchestra, you probably noticed that he just
sat there on the Dflat part. Nobody tries to play that part on
guitar - even Mason didn't play it if he was doing it solo.
[Well, I guess John Kean does.......]
I only got this song down after getting a recording of Mason playing
it on solo 6 string. His records are probably out of print, but
if you are lucky enough to find it get his "Handmade" album for
the solo guitar version.
There are no parts of this tune that should be strummed. It is
entirely picked.
INTRO:
3/4 time rubato, that is, played slowly "with feeling". Actually,
everyone wants to play it just like Mason does on the record...

* - arpeggio (The sheet music would denote this as three notes together
with a squiggly line. You are supposed to know that the notes are
not played together.)
** - triplet (fill in the space that two notes usually take up with
three evenly spaced notes.)
h - hammer on the next note.
THE MAIN PART:
Up-tempo 4/4 time. The signature riff makes this song and the sheet
music doesn't give a clue about how to play it.
Thumb and two fingers are probably needed at a minimum. In the first
bar, the thumb plays the A and D string notes. In the next two bars,
the thumb plays the E string notes, and in the fourth bar, it plays
the A and D string notes.
For the first measure, finger a normal Am chord. I find it works
well in the third measure to alternate the 2-0-2 on the G string
between the index and middle finger (play the B string notes with
your middle finger, the first G string note with your index, the
second G string note with you middle finger again, and the next G
string note with your index finger again. (just a suggestion).

Repeat 4 times.
* - pick the first note and hammer on and pull off the second and
third notes. pick the fourth. Thumb plays the A and D string notes
in the first measure.
I haven't had time to check the rest of the posted "sheet music"
for inaccuracies, but this first part is the important one. You
can probably get most of the rest from sheet music.
Enjoy, and don't give up. It is a very rewarding tune to play.

I'm assuming anyone who down loaded this is familiar with Guitar tab charts.
If not its pretty simple. The six spaces represent the guitar strings and the
numbers relate to the fret where the string being plucked is held down.
I have compsed a Midi file of the above arrangement which will make it
much easier to learn. Any one who wants a copy of mid the drop me a note
with your e-mail address and I will forward to to you. My e-mail address is
