OJO by Leo Kottke Tabbed by Richard Darsie (darsie@ece.ucdavis.edu) Standard tuning: EADGBE A few words about this piece: This is by far my favorite Leo Kottke piece. I fell in love with it when I first heard "6 & 12 String Guitar" (the Armadillo album) some 20 years ago. For so many years I wanted to learn it and it defeated me. This version finally came together about 2 years ago. It's based largely on the transcription in "8 Songs" but I have modified it to fit more closely to the recorded version on "6 & 12 String Guitar" -- evidently the transcription in "8 Songs" is taken from a different recorded version. Although the piece is in the key of A, on "6 & 12 String Guitar" Kottke is tuned down so it sounds in the key of F#. Finally, a standard disclaimer: any errors here are mine. I welcome feedback from anyone about this transcription, especially any corrections and/or additions.

Symbols:

The piece is played in the following sequence:
Intro - Section A - B - A - C - A - D - A - Coda
(Play Section A twice each time you come to it)
Intro: (I found it impossible to time this out. I guess it's basically
an unmeasured prelude. You'll have to figure out the timing by
listening.)
