Eric Johnson - Desert Rose guitar tab

DESERT ROSE

Eric Johnson

From the 1990 album ?Ah Via Musicom?.

p - pull off

h - hammer on

T - use your thumb

~~ - sustained note or vibrato

/ - slide up

\ - slide down

b - bend to second note

?b?r? - bend to second note and return to first

PH - pinch harmonic

(?) - passing note

I haven't put in any precise timing so you'll have to listen to the CD. Usually

if the notes are closer together they'll be faster but this is only a rough guide.

It's hard to tell where there are hammer ons and pull offs are so you can decide

for yourself. This tab is definitely correct. I worked the solos out using "pacemaker"

for winamp to slow it down.

Enjoy!
