Build Abear In Roseville

Rumbu 2

Colo Hassani

After an exchange of emails with a reader, I improved my transcription system. I now propose a double transcript

Rumbu 2, ground A

Top, a tablature (TAB). The four lines represent the strings of Gabus. The figures represent the "boxes". I put quotation marks because, unlike the guitar, there are no frets on the neck of gaboussi, so no boxes. However, it puts the finger at specific locations. We hear very easily if the finger is not in the right place. These are specific points designated by the numbers. "0" is the string. "1" is what would correspond to a first box, where we put the index in general. "2" is where we put the middle finger, etc.. Watching the video is clear enough. If this is not really understandable, it should tell me and I will try to explain better.

Below, a standard notation on a staff.

is a dual transcription. Two different and complementary ways to notate music. The lines above tell you where to put the fingers and the bottom lines tell you what notes you play (if you're granted in G, otherwise it is not serious but it should serve you the tablature ).


The first musical example with the transcription system is one of many patterns used in the rumbu. Other reasons come later. It's pretty easy to play because there are many strings and it sounds great.

is the reason we hear at the beginning of the video. It is played twice. Then come the following reason:

Rumbu 2, B unit

Then again the first ground, twice. Then the following two reasons:

Rumbu 2, pattern C

It should not be a bar to recovery by the end of C is the set (CD) Whois played two Once

Rumbu 2, unit D

The song structure is: Short introduction


AA BB AA AA BB CD CD AAA AA BB ...
The last A is just mentioned. It turns into a long arabesque that ends the song.
