*Notes and Notations*
 1. Adagietto con dolcezza: Slow, but not drudging. Don’t linger on chords too long or
else the sound will quickly get stale. As well, don’t heavy hand any of the
chords--delicate, like a somber lament.
2. In regards to picking, Sean Watkins (the guitarist for Nickel Creek) is fond of
mimicking finger picking with his style. Think of a hideous amalgamation of Travis picking,
flatpicking, alternating bass picking, and crosspicking. As such, there’s really no
RIGHT way to play this song. You can do delicate picking or finger style; it’s really
up to
you. I’m biased, as I learned finger style first, but that is just me.
3. Any chord that is marked with an asterisk is something that is PURELY OPTIONAL. As I
mentioned, Mr. Watkins is keen on alternating bass, considering Nickel Creek very seldom
runs with a double bassist, something odd for a bluegrass ensemble. As such, it is up to
the guitarist to provide the stepping motion between chords. When you see a chord that
is marked with a slash, it is a compound chord and is used as a stepping chord or a
neighboring chord between tones.
4. This part is theory babble, so feel free to disregard it. The only exception to the
optional choice is the D/C chord, which is actually a tonic chord with a neighboring step
up to the supertonic (D), while still holding the C. It’s not quite a suspended chord,
as the D/C eventually resolves back to the tonic. As such, the C to D/C to C motion is
an incomplete neighboring chord. As well, you’re probably wondering why there is an Em
present. Well, A minor is the relative minor of C major, and the song does occasionally
insinuate a modulation. However, seeing as it does not stay in A minor very long, this
is simply a borrowing of chords from the relative minor rather than a full blown key change.
That being said, you seldom (and I mean, very seldom), find a usage of a minor V chord
(Em) in a minor key. The V7 is much more enticing, as it allows a very quick segue into a
major IV chord in the original key and eventually back to tonic. In the context of this
song, however, a minor V chord does work as a pivot chord from Am to C, cutting out the
need for a bridge between a V7/vi to I. As well, it could be a vi/V chord, as Em is borrowed from the dominant of C. Then again, it could be as simple as a iii chord. It's really in the eye of the beholder. Again, just theory babble.
5. I added a second way to play the F major chord. This is because in the recording, you
never hear the octave F on the high E string in the recording, so it is, in my opinion,
unnecessary to play it. I’m fond of leaving things out to preserve a good sound rather
than a complete chord that doesn’t inherently do anything to enhance the harmony.
Again, feel free to disregard this if you aren’t interested.
6. Adh mor! (Good luck)
