Fade out!
Tabulature explanation:
#: Pick slide: The edge of the pick is rubbed down the length of
the string producing a scratchy sound.
*: Natural Harmonic: Strike the note while the left hand lightly
touches the string over the fret indicated.
You probably ask yourself why I havenґt tab the solo:
1: If you want to be a good guitar player you must improvise!
2: It would take too much time to tab!
3: Donґt copy anyone else, just feel the inspiration!
Well: SHUT UP AND PLAY!!!
Have a nice time! / Christian Johansson
