Wide Open Space by Mansun (Guitar Cover #320)
🕑 Added 2024-11-10 09:51:02 +0000 UTCThe Tab-On Screen version is now on YouTube exclusively for Patreon supporters. Thanks to VIP Anthony Jones for suggesting this one. I've always loved this song - so this has been on the list for a long time. I saw Mansun play the Union Bar in Maidstone, Kent. It's where the bass player comes from (and went to the same school as our son) so they must have chosen it as a warm up gig before a festival performance in Netherlands a couple of days after. They were on Top of the Pops the week after - so they were pretty well known at the time. It was a very small gig - in an underground club. Low ceilings and very sweaty. They were awesome - one of the top 5 gigs I've ever seen... and I've seen a few. So - enjoy this one Anthony - I certainly did!
The tab and presets are attached as usual - but over 2024 I will only be making the downloadable tabs available through Musicnotes or MyMusicSheet. You’ll start to see the links in the Youtube video descriptions.
So - for this song - Patreon supporters can access the downloadable tabs (GuitarPro and pdf) plus the presets (Amplitube and screenshots) in the attached zip file. The videos and preset info is also on sparkyguitar.com

Cracking song and a great example of the kind of music that doesn’t get much love from the other YT instructors, thanks! Would be even better, at least for me, if you provided some kind of colour commentary about how the song works (key, structure and chord progression, most of the melodies are based on this scale, etc., etc.) and your thought process about fingering. Thanks again!

Amazing stuff!
