Radar Love
by Golden Earring, from _Moontan_ (1974)
transcribed by
pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov (patrick m. ryan)
original chords from karl@BofA.com (Karl Nicholas)
"/" means slide up
"^" means bend up to note
There are actually two guitars in this song. I've
written this tab for just one.
The song is in E. Most of the little riffs in
this song are played in the 2nd and 14th positions using
a pentatonic scale.
There's some noodling around during the choruses
and during verse 3 that I haven't gotten down yet. In
verse 3, the two guitars are doing distinctly different
things.
Additions and corrections welcome.
