Playing Terry Clements leads
 

Is anyone aware of tablature or sheet music which shows Terry's techniques? I can easily pick up the melodies - namely "Baby Step Back" at this time - but the hammers, slurs, and so on are hard to replicate without seeing them written. I guess a copy of Baby Step Back tab would be best, but sheet music is fine, too. Thanks for the input. :headbang:

The lead electric guitar on Baby Step Back was played by Dean Parks. Terry handled the acoustic lead. The best tab book is the Gordon Lightfoot Anthology. It can be purchased at Amazon.com. It contains tabs and chords for all songs on GGI and II and Summertime Dream. I have the book and thats how I learned to play the leads on Carefree Highway, SFAWN and the Wreck. Sundown is not totally accurate. Remember, the artists do not author the tab books. Rather, a transcriptionist translates what he hears on the recdords.

Good luck and have fun !

That sounds interesting. Thank's spocksbrain.

That's kind, Kerstin.

Thanks. I'll take a look - or maybe I can talk Dean into giving me some lessons! See you at the next coffee house.

FYI. I just searched and am unable to find Baby Step Back listed in any GL Anthology contents. But no worries - I shot an email to Dean and I'm sure I'll be jamming with him in no time (in my dreams!). For now, I'll just slow down his solo with my PC software and see what I can come up with. Thanks again. :)
