Early One Morning Tablature

Whistle
1

Can anyone direct me to a copy of this? I have searched and found audio but not whistle tablature.

Thanks,
TP

You could teach yourself to make your own tab from standard notation in ten or fifteen minutes; almost certainly less time than it would take you to track existing tab down, or (more likely) to determine that it’s unavailable.

Hi TP, do a forum search on “tablature” and you’ll find several recent threads with good sources of whistle tab. Along with recommendations that you wean yourself off tab as soon as possible. :slight_smile:

Click on one of the 2 versions of the tune, then click the “Pennywhistle notation” link, which will display the tune as a GIF and give you several save/display options.

Thanks, guru.

Yah, I can see that the tablature might become a habit. At first I was looking at notes (never having read sheet music before) and listening to the songs and making some progress, but there was a song that I just wanted to pick up and play (Amazing Grace – I was going to a funeral and it made me feel better) so I tried tabs as a shortcut.

Cheers,
TP

Glad you found it. Well, glad that MTGuru found it for you.

I agree. DON’T get hooked on tab! It is not difficult to learn how to read music.

My name is Scott and I was hooked on Tab…


seriously, I said I wouldn’t take a liking to it, but the human brain seems designed to find shortcuts and lazy ways around real work. I was hooked on it before I realized it.

Not too long ago, I started covering up the tab with paper and just developing an eye for the notes. Now I take it one day and one song at a time. I’ve been tab free for about a month.
