[Bearbeiten] Greensleeves
[Bearbeiten] zum Stück
Greensleeves ist ein altes englisches Volkslied, das schon in Shakespeares "Lustige Weiber" (1602) zitiert worden ist. Dieses Zitat weist darauf hin, dass das Lied schon vorher (Mitte bis Ende des 16.Jh) sehr bekannt gewesen ist. Der Name der Lady Greensleeves bezieht sich vermutlich auf die Grünen Puffärmel die zu dieser Zeit in Nordengland in Mode waren.
Es gibt sehr viele Versionen von diesem Lied und es gibt recht einfache Versionen als Solostück für die Gitarre. Die Akkorde in dieser Version orientieren sich an einer einfachen Bearbeitung für die klassische Gitarre. Wem das Stück zu hoch (bzw. zu tief) ist, der verwende ein Capo im 5. Bund. Damit wäre das Stück nach D-Moll transponiert, und es ist gegebenenfalls einfacher zu singen.
Am = Dm; C = F; D = G; F = Bb; E = A
Wer den Bb-Dur scheut kann das Stück auch nach Em transponieren. Dieses entspräche einem Capo im 7. Bund.
Am = Em; C = G; D = A; F = C; E = H7
