Subject: TAB: Louise
Louise
By Paul Siebel
Arranged by Leo Kottke
Transcribed by B.A. Head, 04/02/96
>From *Greenhouse*, *My Feet Are Smiling*, and "Home And Away"
This version transcribed from the "Home And Away" video
======================================================================
One of my favourite of Leo's vocal numbers (hey, who can resist a tune about
a truck-stop whore who kills herself?). IMHO, Leo's solo 12-string
accompaniment, deep resonant vocals, and slide interlude are very effective
at evoking the sadness of this song.
"Louise" was written and originally recorded by Paul Siebel, a songwriter
and folk singer from the 60s (where is he now?). Paul originally recorded
this tune with a backing band, which included a pedal steel. You can find
the original recording on the 1995 compilation of Siebel's works issued by
Rounder Records (Philo CD PH 1161).
I've approximated Leo's picking pattern in this tab. Leo generally moves
between the bottom three strings for the bass (e.g., low D to D, A to D, low
D to D with some variation). Leo also strums the open chords with his thumb
at certain times for emphasis. I've included a couple of these in the tab
(abbreviated as "TS").
The slide solo section alternates between the use of the fingers and the use
of the slide. I've noted this in the tab by using "S" when you sound the
note or chord with the slide, and "F" when you sound the note or chord by
fretting it with your finger. If you don't have a slide handy, you can
finger all the changes. It does sound a whole lot better with slide,
though. Remember to add vibrato on key notes in the solo section.
If you use the slide, put it on your pinky which will free up your other
three fingers for the chords during the verses.
Leo tunes his guitar two whole-steps down for this tune. You may want to
adjust the tuning according to your vocal range.
