A Question of You

Prince
Tab
★4.6(12)

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

Song

Prince -- A Question of U (solo) from the album "Graffiti Bridge"

This is my 1st tab so its not an exact transcription of the man,s work but it sounds pretty close!

ive been playing it for years so thought id write it down 4 ya,all.

Usual Prince tone: plenty drive clean tone with good sustain.

The first two sections are played at quite a slow tempo and then it quickens for

remainder,again

listen to the cd for fine tuning of tempo-slides-bends etc.

a question of u s-slide

--------------- h-hamer on

p-pull off

v-vibrato

bu-bend up
