Ali Farka Touré Video Masterclass - Lesson 2 - '56
Finally the full score of '56 which I recorded on One Night on Earth https://newcape.bandcamp.com/track/56
With 2 video lessons on how to approach playing and practicing this incredible piece.
This is the full piece as recorded on The Source. There are four scores, one in tablature and one in staff notation for steel and nylon. The tuning Ali uses doesn't work great on nylon so I have created a variation for five strings which changes the bass note by one note - instead of GBD bassline we have GDD baseline. There is also an easy handwritten version which was the original score I used for One Night on Earth. Sorry if the amount of options is confusing! But it's all for your good in the end ;)
As preparation for this you can download the intro score https://gum.co/dTQe
