Blue Rondo A La

Blue Rondo A La Turk

Dave Brubeck

tab by Doug Ahern, ahern@harpo.dev.uga.edu

It was pointed out to me that in my first posting of this song,

the tab notation was confusing. Where the first line looked like:

|--1--2--1--2--1--2--3--|. This is the 9/8 time broken down, I don't

know how it would sound if played on some string (I'll have to try it

out though :-) ). To remedy, I've taken out the dashes.

first part:

9/8 . 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 . 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 count
