Standard tuning
Comments: I love Bob Daisley?s work on this album but this track
had me almost losing my mind trying to transcribe it. The man
never plays the same thing twice!! It is oh so close, just minor
variations all the time, but never quite close enough to let it
slide. So, the bad part about this tab is that it is long, in fact,
it is everything that is played on the track straight through. The
good part is that it?s a veritable feast of cool major-scale fills
(mostly in A mixolydian). I?ve put in little markers here and there
and also kept barlines to show where you are in the track. Hope it
helps.
