    Hello there! Lovely to have you on board :seeya:

    Rooben (big Nick fan from Glasgow) had a site with Nick tabs, but it seems to be down - let me see if I can get in touch with him or find the archived version of it on the Wayback Machine :wink: (it's rooben.com if anyone wants to look!)

    I did the Freestyle tab, I was fiddling on the old guitar when the chords C,A,D, Fmaj7 started to sound like Freestyle

    I've worked out a little bit for Magic Feather from the Miracles album, it's the bit after he says 'Parliament,' this is in standard tuning by the by.
    E-----------------|
    B-3---2--0--2-----|
    G-----------------|
    D-2---2--2--2-----|
    A-----------------|
    E-----------------|

    Does anybody have any other chord ideas for Magic Feather?

    And also i've worked a bit out for "One Of The 38"
    Em G Em
    Where ever I've been
    Em G Em
    What ever my fate
    Em G Em
    I am one
    G Em
    of the 38

    Bend the strings when you play the G chord

    Three Magpies

    Chords for Spandau Ballet's 'True' is a good place to start for how to play 'Three Magpies' from Seed ;-)

    If anyone's interested, it looks like the content of rooben.com can still be found online here:
    http://www.douglas16.worldonline.co.uk/.

    Tabs and notes on Nick's guitar setup can be found in the "Harper" section.

    Thanks very much, I'll probably fail horribly trying to play any of them, but still, thank you

    Can you use this template for the fret positions please, I'm finding it hard to understand it the way you've done it. Thanks

    You imply I know what I'm doing!

    Well, I hate trying to type fuller TABS without equal character spacing. I did the others on my WP then pasted them. Do you use a specific FONT that works correctly? I'll try to edit this to keep it neat.

    Repeat the first two bars once for the intro, then repeat ALL for first two lines of lyric, and so on.

    This is just the first part for now, but everything else I've picked out or made up so far is just one note at a time. Quick hammer on/pull offs are always tricky for me to read anyway, because the timing can work out so many ways. I have to hear it (in my head/with my ears or both). And I suspect you have the more of the natural/learned ability to add all those skiffle style notes. I'm guessing with bars 3 and 4 anyway, where I added my ideas to your basic template.

    Who are we TABists going to get to make guitar notations UNIFORM? Can we keep adapting to new systems?

    P.S. OK, it's neat enough. My shorthand I typically only write the letter of the string once when all the notes following are on the same string, until I switch strings. Multiple Rapid hammer on/pull offs "^" are typically done on a single string, so writing the letter seems excessive and confuses the "^" symbol.

    The rest I haven't re-notated isn't really what Nick plays, they're just ideas that work for me (at least for now). I have add'l notes for possible chords, but have to practice them again with the music/lyrics to remember the timing. For me, I need to practice trickier timings a lot over a week or two to recall them quickly. I'll try to post these soon, but our taxes are due to be sent by the 15th. Hopefully you'll have contributed more to the GROUP project by then!:D
