Re: mandolin tab

: Hi I need mandolin tab for Soggy Bottom Boys, Constant sorrow from the movie O brother where art thou and Fishermans Blues by the Waterboys. Can anyone help me please? Thanxs

:Hi Serah. I don't have it written out, but I can tell you that Constant Sorrow is written in E major. Use a capo on the second fret of your mando, and start off playing E as if you are playing in open D. The only chords used in the song are E A & B(capo on 2nd fret the chords are as if you are playing D G & A). Note that there is always a half-step walk-up between A & B; Ex: A A# B. Also note that even though the song is written in E major, the melody is sung in E minor. When soloing, it's good to mix-up E-major & E-minor scales. I hope this is any help.
P.S.: You can order the O'brother were art thou song tabliture book at any music store.
