Blue Rondo A La Turk by Dave Brubeck Corrected by Erdem Koca, for any comments; erdemkoca@hotmail.com Blue Rondo A La Turk Dave Brubeck tab by Doug Ahern, ahern@harpo.dev.uga.edu It was pointed out to me that in my first posting of this song, the tab notation was confusing. Where the first line looked like: |--1--2--1--2--1--2--3--|. This is the 9/8 time broken down, I don't know how it would sound if played on some string (I'll have to try it out though :-)). To remedy, I've taken out the dashes.
