I do play this occaisionally, but it's bit challenging in melody/drone style, so I usually skip a note or two.

I only really know the first part well enough by ear, maybe I can find some SMN and work the rest out later.

The tune is hexatonic, gapped at the 3rd. This makes it Mixolydian(off the open string), or Dorian(off the 4th fret. If you have a 6+ you can play it off the 1st fret as well.

Fretting order in Dorian is :

4,5,4,4,5,7,8,9,8,8,9,10

9,8,7,8,7,5,7,8,7,7,5,4

4,5,4,4,5,7,8,9,8,8,9,10

9,8,7,8,7,5,7,5,4,4

Thank you Val! I appreciate it. And yes, I'd love for you to post your version. Please do. :)

As for the tab, it's even harder to figure out with penmanship like mine. lol.

Hi Foggers. Well, I couldn't find any tab for it, so I quickly scribbled some out for you. I may ornament it slightly (very slightly) in the video, but this is the essential melody. Enjoy!

Thank you Foggers. I do not know whether I still have the tab for this or not. I will look for you and if I have it, I'll post it for you. :)
