Santana - Revelations guitar tab

"Revelations"

Original album: "Festival" 1977

Taken from "Santana The Ultimate Collection"

Written by T.Coster, D.C Santana

Performed by Carlos Santana

Tabbed by Nick Wellings, nickwellings@hotmail.com

10.8.00

CD times in parenthesis

Notes: A warm clean tone to start off quiet then build to

great creschendo.Start with volume low then increase when

you want *but* gradually and logically.

Use small amount of reverb. This is basically a transcription

of what Carlos has played, feel free to simplify or change it.

Sometimes I find it better not to completely stick to a more

complex tab like at the end and I just try to make something

easier up.

h - hammer on

p - pull off

b - bend string up

r - release bend

/ - slide up

\ - slide down

v - vibrato more v's=more vib

t - right hand tap

x - play 'note' with heavy damping
