...been playing guitar for some years and recently had an Alto as a gift. This is my first transcription so go easy on me!!

Stereophonics - Madame Helga (mainly pentatonic bias)

Guitar parts transcribed for Alto - Guitar key B / Alto key C

Verse riff

1) CC... CC... C C C# F C# F# G A# G A# C (up the pentatonic scale)

2) CC... CC... C C D# F D# G F# F Db C (half way up the scale then return)

pre Chorus
Guitars play chord here so either hold the note for a bar at a time or do what you feel!

Four bars in D# then incremental progression to D# octave

D# E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D#

Chorus

D# two bars, F two bars little fill (D, F D, F C Bb) down to Bb two bars then back to F two bars. Just before repeat, do a little run
F# G G# A A# D#


Break

C Bb G Gb F 'FFF' F Db C - eight bars ('FFF' = triplet)

You would probably need to listen to this track a couple of times first, try youtubing it?


and that's it folks - apologise for the unorthodox transcription terms and of course this is only my representation.
