Sturdy Wings Tab

   
There is an excellent cover of this song on YouTube, so I watched it a lot
and learned how to play it for myself. This is my own interpretation of the
song and my first text tab on UG. Here ya go (I tried to express the rhythm
and strumming patterns, but you'll still need to listen to the song a few
times to understand what I mean):

* = natural harmonic
h = hammer on
p = pull off
~ = let ring
. = palm mute (on top of staff)
^ = begin a pick slide (scratch the pick down the length of the string)
\ = slide down
/ = slide up

INTRO:

"Everything!"
(barre the 8th fret and alternate picking the G# power chord and F on this
first part)

There it is.  I'm sure that just about every note in this tab is spot on(you
may need to play around with some of the chord picking areas to get it just
right), but  you'll definitely need to spend some time listening to the song
to get the timing and rhythm correct.  If you like the tab, please rate it.
Thanks!
