Subject: "Blue Wind" by Jeff Beck
"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
~ =shake
p =pull
h =hammer
(x)=harmonic
