Would anyone have tab of Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross" for either C6 or E9? Thanks!

That's a great song, however, I don't have a TAB for it. One thing to keep in mind, the song consists of only two chords: Emaj7 and F#m. As long as you know the scale notes the melody should play out with reasonable ease. Also, the loping bass line and simplicity of the melody are integral to the beauty of the song.

Best wishes and happy pickin'!
Glenn

I never tabbed it out - I'm sorry. But I played it at the British Steel Guitar Festival a few years ago, and it went down really well.

Here is an audio of it on youtube in case you wish to compare notes

Yes, Colin! You nailed it! Peter Green would be proud of your version, and anyone wishing to play this song on PSG would do well to take note of your playing! Very Happy

Here's Fleetwood Mac doing the song, circa 1969:

Keep on pickin'!
