Song: Plenty Artist: Sarah McLachlan Album: Fumbling Towards Ecstacy Released: 1993 Artista/Nettwerk Transcription: Daniel May standard tuning clean-tone Sarah's best album to date is Fumbling Towards Ecstacy. The third track from Fumbling, "Plenty", is in the key of Gm and fades in after about thirty seconds of play w/drums and a thumping bass line. The time is 4/4. Start with the Gm chord in the tenth position on the neck, as graphed below, then just follow along. The rhythm is very free flowing, so listen closely to the CD, let the chords ring out during play, yet semi-funky because of the texture of the high-end strings, typical of James Brown ("Sex Machine") or Tower of Power ("Squib Cakes"). Be careful not to hit the upper strings though! Use the fat of your palm under your pinky finger and hold it lightly against the top three strings to prevent the top strings from sounding. Otherwise, if you are one of the few people who don't own this album, go out and get it, crank it up, light a few candles, and let Sarah's amazing voice take you far and away...
