Joel Billy - Prelude bass tab
Song: Prelude
Artist: Billy Joel
Tabbed by: Dave Porter (SuitsJones@juno.com)
This is my first tab, so please excuse the sloppiness. Me and my friend
transcribed this song for our music technology class, so it should be close.
The bassist basically plays Billy?s left hand, so it?s easy to follow along
with and get the timing right.
