Hi, Several people were asking for tab of various versions of anji recently - the next few mails are what I tabbed out from them when I had 5 mins to spare recently! No, these were actually sent out on news a while back - so I'm sure most of you have them already. The order is: Jansch's version Part 1 " " " 2 Alternative Jansh version Paul Simon version
Brian.
TAB for ANJI by Davey Graham This is the main theme I'll Tab and Post the rest next week.
Notes
Time is 4/4 (mostly) Most of it is based on standard Am chord Fret base notes with 4th finger and thumb around neck Strum like flamenco rasguado ie. with open hand I've marked the beats in a couple of places as my spacing is not accurate. 0^1^0 means hammer-on and pull-off The ^ above a note means bend.
_____________ __________ 4th finger thumb
PICK
bend ^ ^ ^ ^
^
This bar 2/4 time
I'll do the rest of this next week, it's more fun to play than to tab. Cheers Allan

Recently someone asked for Paul Simon's version of Angie. Here's my take On the Bert Jansch version of Davey Graham's Angie, with a couple of comments About the Paul Simon version as I remember it. I hope that will do ... :-)
Normal tuning
PART A (4/4)
PART B (4/4)
(2/4)
Play 4 measures of Part A into Part C1.
PART C1 3/4 4/4 3/4 4/4 3/4 4/4 5/4
Play 4 bars of A into D
PART D "The Work Song" (4/4)
Play Part A ad lib for several measures
Then repeat Part C2
PART C2 (4/4)
Repeat Part A ad lib to ending
ENDING ritardando ...
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Bert Jansch is probably best known as a member of Pentangle, the legendary British acoustic folk-blues-jazz group. He and John Renbourn (the other Guitar in Pentangle) developed picking styles so complex that they became Known as "folk baroque". Angie appears on Bert's first solo album, which Was originally released on Transatlantic records. I have the American Release, on Vanguard VSD-79212, called "Lucky Thirteen".
Bert was highly influential in the early British folk scene. Donovan Leitch Was so in awe of him that there are songs called "Bert's Blues" and "House Of Jansch" on early Donovan albums. It is not clear whether Paul Simon Learned Angie from Bert or from Dave Graham, although it *is* known that Simon was in England after the recording of Simon and Garfunkel's first Album (and before the electrification of "The Sounds Of Silence").
Some differences in Simon's version: I believe Paul uses three-note chords In Part C1 rather than two-note ones. Something like:
PART C1 (Paul Simon style)
And so forth. Also, his picking on the B string in Part A seems less Intricate and more fluid, e.g. the first measure goes something like:
PART A (4/4)
As far as Part D goes, it is not widely known that this is actually a quote From another song, called The Work Song. I have this on GNP-Crescendo #86, "There's A Meetin' Here Tonight" by Joe & Eddie. The first verse and chorus Lyrics are:
Breakin' up big rocks on the chain gang, Breakin' rocks and soothin' my time. Breakin' up big rocks on the chain gang, Oh Lord I committed a crime. Hold it steady right there while I hit it <HUH> I reckon that ought to get it. Been workin', I been workin', And I still got so terrible long to go.
I highly recommend digging out this obscure gem and listening to it for A deeper understanding of the possibilities inherent in Part D. It's Attributed to Nate Adderly & Oscar Brown Jr., so really Angie ought to have Their names on it as well.
I've always been fond of Angie because it was the first song I learned to Play on the guitar. Yeah, I know. I was too young and stupid to know any Better ... :-)
Oh yes, if you have big hands, it's possible to fret the bass string with your Thumb (wrapped around the neck). Personally, I only do this for the F.
Enjoy!

RPI's Pnews seems to be broken... would you be so kind as to post this On rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature for me? Somebody asked for it a Week ago but I've lost his address. Thanks!
How are things going? I have received scarce news from Through A Telescope Darkly...

Here a rough approximation of Anji, by Davy Graham, as played by Paul Simon on the Simon & Garfunkel album "Sounds of Silence." Somebody Asked for it a while ago but I lost his address. Simon plays it with A capo on the second fret. I hope whomever I promised this to gets It... enjoy!
(Standard disclaimers apply... this is mostly from memory)
~ == hammer or pull-off, as appropriate ^ == bend # == hit-and-mute sort of chord strum
This is the basic riff; sometimes he throws in an E off the open high string.
Some of the variations he does are:

ANJI (Dave Graham) from "Sounds of Silence" - Paul Simon
I have seen so many versions posted these days, but since I just finished Writing down my own transcription let me post it. The main differences between Simon's version and Bert Jansch's one are In the main section: the bass pattern and the alternance between Am and E Positions for the left hand (you cannot rest on Am). The other sections have sometimes a little bit of dirty picking, (esp. 'up' strokes with two or three fingers, mute effects or bending) not Easy to transcribe exactly. Moral: look at the tab and listen to the record. Capo 3rd fret. I hope the tempo is correct.
Am Am(G) Am(F) E ...
