Country Boy Tab is wrong?
by Wolfie » Mon May 03, 2010 2:47 am
The first 16 measures of the Country Boy tab in the new Country 1 package seems to be a bit off. Easy enough to figure out correctly by ear, but should really be fixed. Other than that, the Country packages are great. Thanks!

Hey man,
Sandy here. The transcription is correct, it's just I'm using a delay pedal and doing that classic 'Albert Lee Country Boy' effect (Hence the name of the song)
Here's some info on how to do the 'cascade' effect with your guitar and delay pedal:
To produce the cascade sound, set your delay to play back one repeat (feedback=0) at equal volume with your picked note. Next, because the delay-time setting is tempo-dependent, set the delay to spit back its note exactly one-and-a-half times the rhythmic value of the picked note. So, if you’re playing eighth-notes, set the delay to repeat each note exactly a dotted-eighth’s duration (one eighth plus a sixteenth) after it is played.
The easiest way to convert tempo to seconds is this little formula: 45/T=S, where 45 is the conversion factor for tempo to time in seconds, T is tempo (in bpm) and the S is the time in seconds for your delay. For example, if you plug in 120 for the tempo and divide by 45, you’ll get 0.375 seconds (or 375 ms). Of course, if your delay box has a tap tempo function that can be set to a dotted-eighth subdivision, the faster way to get the same effect is tap in the quarter-note tempo and let the delay unit do all the math for you and automatically generate the dotted-eighth cascade you seek. Apply the approach to the lick.
Hope this helps and thanks again for your interest in the product.

Yep, what Sandy said!
Actually, that information should have been included in the theory/techniques notes with the Country sets, but due to an administrative oversight (i.e. me being a silly bugger) those files are not in the download.
That'll be fixed today, and we'll be providing a link for people who have already bought the packages and just want the missing files.
