Sur cette page figurent les tablatures de 247 chansons issues du répertoire (studio ou concert) de Will Oldham.
Ces tablatures, ainsi que les observations sur les principes de notations et le jeu de guitare de Will Oldham, sont le fruit du travail de l'Arrangeur Masqué. Un grand merci à lui !
Mais, comme le dit lui-même l'Arrangeur Masqué, "malgré toutes [ses] corrections et vérifications, des erreurs d'écoute et de frappe sont toujours possibles. De même, certaines indications musicales (par exemple, l'emploi de capo pour certains titres) ne sont pas à prendre pour paroles d'évangile. Malgré son air appliqué et sérieux, ce travail reste et demeure subjectif". Aussi, les corrections, améliorations et suggestions diverses de la part de tous les intéressés sont les bienvenues.

Principes de notations |
|
Le système de notation adopté est celui utilisé par les anglophones :
- A = la
- B = si
- C = do
- D = ré
- E = mi
- F = fa
- G = sol
L'accord tenu (ou point d'orgue) est indiqué par un _ à la suite de l'accord (ex : F_ , Am_ , etc.).
Les mesures vides (où rien n'est joué, ou bien qui ne sont que le prolongement d'un accord tenu) sont représentées par un | ... .
Les accords entre parenthèses sont de trois sortes :
- Indication sommaire de la tonalité (souvent au début d'un morceau, pour indiquer les départs approximatifs/live des chansons).
- Accords déduits (faute de partie de guitare reconnaissable) de la mélodie et/ou des autres instruments.
- Accords qui ne sont joués que partiellement.

Le jeu de guitare de Will Oldham |
|
Voici quelques indications sur le jeu de guitare de Will Oldham — indications que l'on avait supposées à l'écoute de ses disques, et que l'on a pu vérifier et corriger en examinant de près (moins de 2 mètres !) le bonhomme en concert :
- Will Oldham, en tant que guitariste rythmique et héritier de la tradition folk, utilise très souvent un capo. Cela permet aussi d'éviter les accords barrés, pénibles pour un jeu rythmique.
- Une autre spécificité du jeu de Will Oldham consiste, quelquefois, à se passer de médiator et à frapper et balayer les cordes avec les ongles — ce qui donne ce son si particulier (voir par exemple Old Jerusalem).
- D'après ce que nous avons pu constater, Will Oldham n'utilise pas ou peu d'open tunings.
