When I Call Your Name, Vince Gill / Paul Franklin PSG solo

Post by Elizabeth Lawrence »

Hi folks,

I've come across another solo transcribed for a student in the last year and thought I'd upload here for anyone interested.

This is "When I Call Your Name" by Vince Gill, feat. Paul Franklin on PSG.

The solo starts with a pickup at 2:41.

Enjoy!

This is in 3/4 time. I have heard bands play it in 4/4. Not sure why.

Time Signature

Tim-- I think you will find that is a 6/8 or 3/4 tempo. It is not 4/4 on my CD. The tab appears to be exactly correct.

I'm not a big fan of tabs but I wanted to say you did a great job on tabbing it! As Tim said the song is written in 4/4 time. It would make a beautiful waltz as well though!

If you go on the web and search for When I Call Your Name Sheet Music you will see the time signature is 3/4 time. Written by Vince Gill and Tim Dubois. No 4/4 here.

On of my favorite CD, (Cassettes) from back in the day. Chocked full of great steel and harmonies. Beautifully written out Tab as well Elizabeth.
