Deep River Blues
The tabs are way too small to read. I don't readily read music and rely on tabs for playing along. I am overall disappointed that this is hard to follow.

Problems sheet music Doc Watson Deep river Blues
I think that the download is very bad the tab sheet is so small it is not possible to see the tab in a normal reading distance, and all the other nodes on the sheet in not nessesary if i want to use the tab. the margins in the top is so large that the last line in the tab can not be printed.
It is very dissapointing because it was possible to buy the sheet after 3 time. I would like to receeve a readable tab by e-mail please |

Deep River Blues
Unfortunately the print was extremely small and even making it as large as possible on the computer, I still had to use a magnifying glass and copy it out by hand. Good to get the Tab to this great song though.

Doc Wastson's performance captured accurately
Doc Watson most often sang this song with just his own guitar accompaniment, and this Tab is exactly the alternating bass fingerpicking he played. Note that Doc picked with just the thumb and one finger of his right hand, which gives a unique sound to some of the fast bits, but most players use the conventional thumb & 2- or 3-fingers technique. Doc admits it was all he knew growing up, but added I don't recommend it. The note at bar 1 tells you to use triplet feel, aka blues, or swing timing. That means that eighth notes between the beats are played not half-way between, but closer to the next beat. Most players do it without thinking.This sheet is incorrectly attributed. It was actually written and first performed by a country duo of the early 30s, The Delmore Brothers (Alton and Rabon), as Big River Blues. They recorded it in 1933, and you can hear it on YouTube. There is also an excellent teaching video by Jim Bruce.
