Transcription V - Hayden Chisholm "Oracle Hymn 13"

A few months ago I presented a transcription of Hayden Chisholm’s “Oracle Hymn 9”. Todays transcription, “Oracle Hymn 13” seems to me a sister piece to “Oracle Hymn 9”. The modal language is dense and knotted but not inelegant—quite the opposite in fact. As usual, Chisholm’s control, intonation, and phrasing are exemplary. Getting this kind of phrasing across on the guitar is tricky to impossible but I have found the attempt instructive. You can find a full transcription of the piece here and watch my performance of it here.
