Fu Manchu - Strolling Astronomer guitar tab
"Strolling Astronomer" by Fu Manchu.
From the Album "The Action is go".
Tabbed by SETCH.
Tuning:-all strings down a full step.
eg(DGCFAD)
Every second playing of Riff 1 is accompanied by a short
solo, and I have tabbed the first solo. The last time it
is played there is a double time feel for the outro solo.
These solos are all played on the same scale, pentatonic
on 12 and 14.
