A Few Words For Those Who Managed To
Get This Far 302


  Also some occasional errata for proud owners of the book collected by Johan Wikberg

From: Jeremy Henty
 Page 189, bars 215-216 of "Stucco Homes": The score shows the lead guitar playing a 7-note chord! How is this possible? The notes are A, F sharp, D, B, G, A, D, played as a descending arpeggio, all of which are held for another 5 beats.

From: Biffyshrew
 It isn't possible. This is an obvious error in transcription. I don't have time to check the record right now, but I notice that it would be virtually impossible to fret the top five notes as written, but if you omit the B you get a very comfortable fingering.

From: "Johan Wikberg" <wikberg@mbox301.swipnet.se>
 Page 66, bars 163-164 of "While You Were Art": The rhythm in these two bars does not compute. The last note in bar 161 is part of a triplet and a 13:14-tuplet, which doesn't work out, so if you add it up you don't quite get two 3/4 bars' worth of rhythm.
