This tablature is from the November '86 issue of Frets Magazine. I can't
come anywhere close to playing this piece myself, but from slowly choking
out the first few measures on my guitar, the transcription seems fairly
accurate. I have tried to type this in exactly as it appears in the
article. Please let me know of any corrections or suggestions.
Many thanks to Scott Bigelow (cino@acca.nmsu.edu) for providing the
original copy of the article.
Hope you enjoy it.

Layover
by Michael Hedges
transcribed by Mark Hanson and T. Long in Frets Magazine - November 1986
"'Layover' is about the closest I get to playing a regular alternating-
bass style," says Michael Hedges. That makes "Layover" one of the
more readily accessible 6-string pieces in Hedges' repertoire, and it's
transcribed here as a sampler of some of his distinctive techniques.
Measures 5 through 24 use a nearly constant alternating-bass pattern.
In measures 25-38, the alternating bass disappears, and continual one-,
two-, and three-string hammer-ons ("tapping") are introduced.
To ensure bright harmonics in measures 12-14, finger the 7th fret of
the third string with the index finger; and the fourth-string harmonic
with the middle finger. In measures 29 and 30, Hedges emphasizes the
lower-pitched of the two simultaneously-pluked notes in the top voice -
a difficult technique, but a necessary one to bring out the melody.
The guitar tuning is DACGCE, lowest pitch to highest.
