Nickel Creek - Scotch & Chocolate intro guitar tab

Nickel Creek

Why should the fire die?

-Scotch and Chocolate intro tab for mandolin.

Obviously the bars aren't accurate and don't really give a good invitation of the time

they just help me visualise the phrasing better :P though you must bear in mind the triplet time

The way it is played reminds me alot of a step reel, but with the swing..

if you play this to the cd, you'll notice that alot of the intervals I have written are wrong

-->I thought it better to keep the tune fleshed out than keep fretting over how to correct it though,

you can simply take out the lower notes of most chords/intervals to get the sounds to match (I hope)
