OK, I posted the msg below and an attachment to alt.binaries.guitar.tab
as suggested. She's a great singer/songwriter and I really appreciate
it! qq
---------------------
Here's that song I was curious about. I really like the chording.
There's a video on youtube, I extracted the sound to aiff then to aac
(mp4). Let me know of any problems.
Thanks!
