Higher - Jason Becker

Tab by Sean Kasun (seank@u.arizona.edu)

This is off his newest album, Perspective. It's a great album, and

this song has no guitar in it whatsoever. It's all acapello, but I figured

since we all play guitar, I could tab it out anyways :)

According to the liner notes, the first half was written on the guitar,

however I personally think the second half sounds more guitar oriented..

so I have only tabbed out the second half.

Play this VERY slowly.

First the guy starts arpegiating the followng. He goes through several

chords, but I haven't taken the time to figure them all out.

|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

|---6-9---9-6---6-9---9----6-9---9-6---6-9---9----------------------|
|-7-----------7----------7-----------7------------------------------|

After doing that a second time, the main vocal starts in:

Hope you enjoyed this. I haven't seen any other Becker tabs on OLGA,

but if you know one of his songs, please take the time to write it

out for the rest of us. Thank you. :)

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
