Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone
Original Tablature: Simon Chaplin (scc92@ecs.soton.ac.uk)
Subsequent Versions: Harry (tab@electricweb.org.uk)
This is a pretty big revision to my first tab for this song. I've written
the Verse, completely rewritten the Pre-Chorus and the Break, and changed
the solo a fair bit. The main help with the timing here is the bar lines.
However, I'm not quite 100% certain about their positions in the solo.
Tuning: Standard
Notation:
~ - Vibrato (Wiggle the string about)
Xb - Bend up (No more than a semitone)
XhY - Pick note X then hammer-on Y
YpX - Pick note Y then pull-off to X
X/Y - Pick note X then slide up to Y
Y\X - Pick note Y then slide down to X
YrX - Bend string to play note Y on fret X then release bend, giving note X

It continues but has pretty much completely faded out at this point. If
you're good enough at improvising you might make something up from here on
while guitar 2 plays Chorus B once more and ends on the Pre Solo.
If your playing the whole thing on one guitar I recommend only playing the
Solo up to where the singing comes in and ending on Chorus B X 2 followed
by the Pre-Solo. Alternatively, you could play the whole solo and put one
Chorus B and the Pre-Solo after it.
ORDER:
LEAD------------------------------------------------------------------RYTHM
(Rest)----------------------------------------------------------------Intro
Verse X 2------------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
(Rest)---------------------------------------------------------Pre-Chorus A
(Rest)---------------------------------------------------------Chorus A X 3
Verse X 2------------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
(Rest)---------------------------------------------------------Pre-Chorus A
(Rest)---------------------------------------------------------Chorus A X 3
Break X 2------------------------------------------------------------(Rest)
(Rest)---------------------------------------------------------Pre-Chorus B
(Rest)---------------------------------------------------------Chorus B X 2
Pre-Solo-------------------------------------------------------Chorus B End
Solo---------------------------------------(Rest one bar then) Chorus B X 3
As you can see there is little overlap so by good control of your tone you
can play the whole thing on one guitar. The only bits that you can't sing
while playing are the solo and possibly the verse. If you finish the song
as I suggested above the former of these is not a problem.
