"Pet Sounds"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


I listened to Pet Sounds last week, and I learned some of the guitar parts for the title track.

I think the second phrase should be an octave higher than I've played it, but I haven't found a good way to play it that high yet.  Also, it might be on twelve-string in the original; I just played it on six-string because on twelve-string it becomes really obvious when you shift from the strings that are the same note in different octaves to the strings that are the same pitch.  I still find glissandi on twelve-string difficult too, and this requires a few of them.
