Here is a compilation of all of the Metheny / PMG transcriptions in typewritten form that I have been able to accumulate. Sources include the Internet, postings to the PMG mailing list, and music that people were nice enough to send me directly. Everyone who wrote these out has given me permission to allow them to be distributed - either by direct communication or de facto by having posted them to a public access. I can’t guarantee that e-mail addresses haven’t changed, but names presumably have not. If the tabs don’t line up properly, remember to change to a font that spaces all characters equally (10 pt Courier works). If anyone has more transcriptions to share, please send to the mailing list via James Green ( James_Green@ ) or to me at E_Goosenberg@fccc.edu. Thanks.

Subject: TAB: Third Wind Break (Pat Metheny)
Hello People
This Tab contains the unbelievable Metheny's flight over the first break in "Third Wind" ("Still Life - Talking" album), as I was able to figure out.
Time is 4/4. Begin with a quaver silence. All tabbed notes are semiquavers. A " ^ " means hammering or pulling down, and a " / " means sliding up.
If your ears say there is something wrong, please let me know.

PAT METHENY: TRAVELS ( from the album "Travels" )
=====================
from A. Derossi
( e-mail: derossi@elettra.trieste.it )
The notation is:
^ = legato ( hammer on, pull off)
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
' = acciaccatura ( very fast note )
x = muted string
The time is 4/4. I tried to give an indicative time subdivision
with the numbers 1 2 3 4 over the tabs. I hope it helps.
I also wrote indicative chords.

Rick,
This is what I came up with. In transcribing, my approach is to usually get the treble or melody note and then get the bass note. Once I get that, I listen for chord quality and then just kind of "fill in the blanks". At least this approach works for me as usually root motion is pretty logical and that helps define the chord.

Subject: Harmonics to “Follow Me” from “Imaginary Day”
Just a lurker with a historical attachment to Metheny's music (not quite to the level of fan, as in fanatic). Always found attempting to play melodies with harmonics (not using the right hand) confusing on guitar (beyond simple Close to the Edge bars), since the linear intuition of the fretboard is absent. When I've done this I have to rely on pure memory, which isn't so good. At any rate, I was curious to see if the simple phrase in Follow Me was from a traditional tuning or what. I know this can be figured out by any two-bit guitar player, but this might save someone a few minutes time. FWIW (and with no attempt to reflect timing):
