THE CROCE DOZEN

[FORUM] [SONGBOOKS] [LIVE] [TRIVIA] [GREG LAKE] [EVA CASSIDY] [5/4] [KEITH RICHARDS] [HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS]

THE CROCE DOZEN is a collection of tablatures that came into being over a period of 20 years, consisting of 12 songs written by Jim Croce in the early 1970ies. The TABLATURE SYSTEM is my own invention and might look a bit strange at first sight, but is quite practical to work with, if once you are accustomed to it. The tablatures were written for single acoustic guitar, played best on nylon-strung concert models, and are excellent fingerstyle studies for the advanced guitarist.
Songbooks that still can be purchased on the book market aren`t really convincing (imo), and create the impression of being concocted under pressure of time. But I have to admit, that some tutorials on YouTube I found quite helpful. I realize that the whole material is COPYRIGHT PROTECTED and that I'm running the risk to end up in a law suit, if I publish any of these files in the WWW.
Then again I feel obliged to give other people the opportunity to critically reflect upon my approach and the solutions that I have found, so far. My motive is absolutely non-profit. If you find some flaws or have something to contribute, drop me a line in the forum.
The songs involved in order of keys (circle of fifths) as follows:

- IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY (C)
- LOVER'S CROSS (C)
- NEXT TIME, THIS TIME (C)
- ALABAMA RAIN (G)
- OPERATOR (G)
- PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEMORIES (G)
- DREAMIN' AGAIN (D)
- THE HARD WAY EVERY TIME (D)
- THESE DREAMS (Dm)
- TIME IN A BOTTLE (Dm)
- I'LL HAVE TO SAY I LOVE YOU IN A SONG (A)
- NEW YORK'S NOT MY HOME (A)

Btw: Croce's songs in the key of E are mostly strummed ...

This is a tribute page the size of a floppy disc, to one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all times. For more information, please visit the official website and look for additional information at Wikipedia. And pay a visit to maurymuehleisen.com too.
