This page is a guide to learning the piece Ghosts on a tapping Instrument such as the Chapman Stick or the acoustic Dragonfly DFA. This arrangement would work pretty well on piano or as a duo with a wind instrument with a bit of arranging.
There is a ♪ score/tablature ♪ and fretboard diagrams to help you learn the song.
This re-imagining of the melody from 'Ghosts' by Albert Ayler has a more straight up, simple rhythm than the original jazz classic and has an americana feel with the use of a slower tempo. Some spare bass accompanyment with different chords/harmonies here and there makes it a different feeling song all together.
The arrangement imagines the daily (therapeutic) routine of the resident ghosts at the ruins of the Camarillo State Mental Hospital Dairy Farm who still live, work, and contemplate there.
