This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Somalia (Album Electric Rendezvous)

Al Di Meola

August 25, 2002

9:33 a.m.

This is my first guitar tab. Most of the time I read music. The instrumental

is in standard tuning, e b g D A E. Play intro once and the rest three times.

The other instrumentations include another guitar and keyboard but I excluded

those.
