Window Paine

from Gish

Transcribed by Adam Morris

From: benmo@deakin.edu.au (BENJAMIN JAMES MORRIS)

This is another song that wasn't at Nevada,

so here is my version.

b=bend

r-release bend

h=hammer on

p=pull off

Standard tuning

*

E-----x------x------x------x------x------x----------|

B-----x------x------x------x------x------x----------|

G-----x------x------x------x------x------x----------|

* This is actually for bass, but it doesn't really matter.

The x's are done by hitting all the strings with you palm

above the pick-ups.

This took me hours to figure out and type up so if

you are reading this now send me a message, even if

you have nothing to say, I just want to know that

people are getting it and maybe using and enjoying

it. I think most of what I have here is right.

Once again, PLEASE tell me what you think (good and bad).

Any corrections gladly welcomed.
