Many of these arrangements of Avett Brothers songs, especially those before I and Love and You are heavily indebted to AvettBrothersTabs.com. In many cases, I began with the material there, correcting occasional mistakes and reformatting for print. I also owe a debt to my pal Matt, both in working out these arrangements and testing them together.

Many of these files were created with Word 2007 using a Quick Style Set designed for the purpose, using the open source font Deja Vu. More recent additions were created using Apple Pages ’09, and since late 2018, I’ve been using the most recent version of Pages.

Some of these arrangements include tablature for intros, outros, interludes, etc. However, base note walks and the like are rarely noted, where simply listening to the recording will illuminate things. Harmonies, echoes and such are also noted.

A Couple Explanations

One or two of my notation styles need some special explanation.

I will often put parentheses around a chord—thus:(G)—where it “feels” like a chord change belongs, but you’re really staying on the same chord as in the previous phrase. I find this helpful—and much less confusing than the convention one sometimes sees of simply repeating the chord in such a spot, making it appear there is a chord change where there isn’t.

In other cases, I’ll use a pair of brackets around a chord—thus:[G]—where the chord has already been played. This happens in places where the last chord of a verse or chorus is also the first chord of a bridge.

Feedback Welcome

Please e-mail me or leave a comment if you find any mistakes, or if you work out any new arrangements you’d like me to post here.
