Oldfield - Tubular Bells Intro guitar tab

Tubular Bells --- Mike Oldfield

INTRO

This part is originally played on piano and glockenspiel, but I saw

him playing it on guitar in his video "the essential", so I tabbed

it out. This part is only playable with an easy to learn right hand

technique - "it is just hammering between one string and another - I

did it on piano " (Mike). Use your thumb for the notes on d-string

second and third finger for those on g- and b- string respectively.

The beat goes 7/8 7/8 9/8 7/8 - so each note is 1/8 long.
