Joe Satriani - Flight Of The Bumblebee guitar tab
Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov
Transcribed Mitch
Mitch says:
The song is continuous; the spaces are for better overview,
and have nothing to do with timing. Also, this song is best
performed by tapping or tremelo picking/alternate picking.
