Use this tab in conjunction with the album "Sir John Alot..." by John Renbourn (Transatlantic / Warner Bros).
This is as I learned the first section of Sweet Potato in the '70s. My playing has drifted from the handwritten transcription of the A section that I learned the piece from. I have included the B section and first part of the C section as best I can decipher them from the record. There is plenty of C section left to try your own transcription skills on.
Renbourn has recently released an instructional video ("Folk, Blues, and Beyond" available from Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop), which supposedly contains a substantially different version of this piece. From what I have been able to gather, the video contains a version of the piece, with many variations, none of which are on the album, and all fitting into a 16 bar form (as opposed to the 12 bar B section on the album). This seems a worthwhile investment for any serious student (now if only I had a VCR and TV...)
notation: The beat is indicated by vertical strokes. "q" "e" "s" are rhythmic notations "quarter" "eighth" "sixteenth" "ww" is vibrato or small bend. "b" and "r" are "bend" and "release" notes between a b and an r show the pitch, not the actual fret. "/" (or "\") before a note is a slide up (or down) to the note from an unspecified fret. "/" (or "\") between notes is a slide between specified notes. "h" and "p" stand for "hammer-om" and "pull-off".
