This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
"Blue Wind"
by Jan Hammer and Jeff Beck
from the album "wired"
Tabbed by Keith Kujath (shredbaron@aol.com)
Greetings!
Here is a modest attempt at a very hot tune. I tabbed it in free time b/c I
wouldn't know how to notate it anyway. I've included the first two guitar
solo passes. (Keyboard players are on your own.) In the main theme, the
guitar follows the bass line-but drops out during the third time around to
finish the solo bit. I labeled this "riff A" and notated where to insert it.
' = bend up
~ = vibrato
p = pull
h = hammer
(x) = harmonic
