This tab is Tuck's accompinying of Patti's song "Better 
than anything". Because she's singing like she's 
playing percussion, I didn't even try to tab her part.
I challenge you to give it a shot.

This tab does not even try to fully match the sound of 
Tuck's very complicated and brilliant play. I wrote it 
down while I tried to immitate his play, acting as a 
menomonic device for me. This tab may help you as 
well in learning something of his style, but you should 
really listen to his original recording to get the point and 
the rhytmic feel.

Corrections (many)
===============
Most important sections to watch:
Sections 1d/2d/3d with chord changes
Section 4c with different harmonics
Sections 4ad/4d with important chord changes and 
different fingering

General:
=======
C1. Ghost/dead notes (x): Many notes I originally 
tabbed are not really played but just happen when 
playing.
I have placed them in brackets (Eg. bar 38). Other 
dead notes of which I think Tuck really plays them, are 
moved to the correct string (Eg. bar 27). Often they are 
(a) the result of quickly playing the basic rhythm while 
moving your hand already to the next chord or (b) 
extreme staccato playing which makes the note more 
like a tick then a full tone.

C2. Phrased notes: Some notes I thought were played, 
probably aren't: a single note may be "phrased" by 
another note (which seems to devide it rhytmically in 
two) or by Pat's singing. (E.g. bar 16 or bar 43).

C3. Harmonics/reverb: Some notes I thought were 
played are probably just higher harmonics in 
combination with reverb and just happen when playing. 
I have removed them (E.g bar 24)

C4. Rhytm: Note: although the rhytm is a swing rhytm, 
Tuck plays it sometimes more towards a punctuated 
rhythm. I have tried to simplify a few things by using 
grace notes instead of short beats. This better reflects 
the basic rhythm (Eg. bar 28).

Both have resulted in a simpler transcription.

List of all corrections:
================
Bar 2:   Palm mute
Bar 4-5: Notes and fingering
Bar 6-7: Palm mute, C2
Bar 16:  C2
Bar 24:  C3
Bar 27/29/31/37/39 (and many more): C1, moved to 
correct string
Bar 28:  C4
Bar 30:  C1 (dead note removed)
Bar 32:  C1
Bar 34:  Notes changed
Bar 35:  Chord is played in basic rhythm. Last note is 
part of next chord, therfore fingering changed.
Bar 38:  C1
Bar 41:  Notes between brackets: the result of a 
delayed slide
Bar 41-46:  Slide to next beat
Bar 43:  C2
Bar 44:  Slide added
Bar 46:  C2
Bar 49:  Chord corrected!
Bar 50:  C1 (simplified)
Bar 52:  C2
Bar 53:  C1, Chord corrected! (see also 49)
Bar 54:  Fingering changed
Bar 55:  Fingering changed, C1 (note not actually 
played between brackets)
Bar 56:  C1
Bar 58:  C1
Bar 62:  Simplified notation
Bar 63:  Note is dead note
Bar 64:  Simplified notation
Bar 70:  Different timing
Bar 71/72/73:  Slide to next beat
Bar 74:  (I'm still not sure) seems more like a slide while 
playing standard rhythm.
Bar 79:  Chord corrected!
Bar 81:  Simplified notation
Bar 82:  C2
Bar 84-92: After long experimenting, and finding that 
harmonics at the 5th fret are hardly amplified on my 
jazz-guitar because they are right above the pickup 
element, I changed them to harmonics at the 7th fret 
with consequences for bass note fingering. On 
accoustic guitar you may play like I originally tabbed, 
which is somewhat easier.
Bar 101: fingering changed
Bar 104: minor change
Bar 105: C1, grace notes replace by slide (grace note 
slide over 2 notes doesn't work in GP4)
Bar 108: (Duraration grace notes adapted)
Bar 109: C2, Chord corrected!
Bar 111: Notation changed
Bar 113: C1, Chord corrected! (See also bar 109)
Bar 115-122: (I'm still not sure about the bass notes, 
but changed them for the better)
Bar 127: Bass note is clearly heard as well
Bar 128: Superfluous note removed
Bar 131-135: Corrected! (After heaving read an 
interview about some of his techniques, this is more 
likely how it was played, sounds better too!)
Bar 137: Chord corrected! Fingering bass notes 
changed
Bar 138: Three-note chord -> two-note chord
Bar 139: Three-note chord -> two-note chord, slide into 
next beat
Bar 142: Three-note chord -> two-note chord
Bar 143: Three-note chord -> two-note chord, bass 
note changed, slide into next beat
Bar 144: Grace-note removed, fingering changed!!!
Bar 145: Grace-note moved to first note, slide into next 
beat
Bar 146-147: Slide into next beat
Bar 148: Slide added
Bar 150: !!! Very important change in fingering and 
chord
Bar 152: Chord changed, slide into next chord
Bar 154: Four-note chord -> three-note chord, slides 
added as grace, dead note at the end
Bar 156: !!! Very important change in fingering
Bar 157: Dead note is bass note (accidently played 
dead?)
Bar 159-162: Slide into next beat
Bar 163: I think the F# should be an E
Bar 164: Bass note just before chord is hit, C1
Bar 172: C1, simplified notation
