Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover guitar tab

#

From: fvr@broom.bae.bellcore.com (Frank Ricciardi) + SubGenius

This is how I play the main theme to "Cliffs of Dover." It's a bit tricky;

I can't get it to come out quite as quick and clean as Mr. Johnson does,

but then again, he's a pro.

It'ud probably really help to have a copy of the album to play along with.

My notation is:

/ a slide

~ vibrato or tremolo--wiggle yer fingers

' bend the string

h hammer on

p pull off

& Smash yer amp with yer guitar, light the wreckage on fire then dive

into the audience

In 4/4, with a pretty fast (190 b.p.m. or thereabouts) shuffle-ish beat.

He does all sorts of pervertations and convolutions on this; the last

bar is also played:

This is my bash at the intro to the song; I'm afraid that I can differentiate

the different bits into bars--just play the lot as fast as you can.

My Notation is:

\ slide

' bend

~ vibrato

h hammer on

p pull off

This is my first tab so do not be too

critical of my notation. The notes should

be correct because I learned the song

from the book and it sound pretty good

to me. Good Luck and have fun
