Artist: Sufjan Stevens
Album: All Delighted People EP
Song: Enchanting Ghost
Tabbed by: mms
this is from sufjan's all delighted people ep-- its not as
complicated as it sounds because what im posting is just the
main guitar part and parts of the second guitar part-- which is
supplemented on the album with a few other guitars and a banjo
i believe
guitar 1 is all finger picked in a simple pattern with just
alternating thumb and index finger-- also use your index
finger on your fret hand to hold down the high e and B strings
on the first fret at the same time
hope this all makes sense
main guitar:
e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-
B--------1----------1----------1----------1------
G----------2----------2----------2----------2----
D------------------------------------------------
A-----3----------3----------3----------3---------
E------------------------------------------------
e-------------3----------3----------1----------1-
B--------1----------1----------1----------1------
G----------2----------2----------2----------2----
D------------------------------------------------
A-----2----------2----------2----------2---------
E------------------------------------------------
e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-
B--------1----------1----------1----------1------
G----------2----------2----------2----------2----
D------0----------0----------0----------0--------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------
e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-
B--------1----------1----------1----------1------
G----------2----------2----------2----------2----
D------------------------------------------------
A-----2----------2----------2----------2---------
E------------------------------------------------
^this carries through the whole song, including chorus
here's some of the second guitar's parts:
during this line and the one after it
guitar one:
e-------------1----------1----------1----------1-
B--------1----------1----------1----------1------
G----------2----------2----------2----------2----
D------0----------0----------0----------0--------
A------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------
guitar two does this:
e------------------------5---3---1----3---------------
B-----------------------------------3----3-3----1-3-1-
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------
one final thing i'll share is the little slide heard
occasionally during the verse-- it goes like this:
e---------------8s7---5s3-----------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------
good luck with all this-- its the first tab i did completely
without other sources so yeah-- also it isn't meant to be a
walk through every note in the song so just take whats here and
work with it in your own way
ps-- the other guitar parts are pretty easy too even though i
didnt post them-- for example the electric guitar part can be
easily played on the high e and b strings alone-- again good
luck
