Title: I'm Tired
Album: ?
Transcribed by: Rhett Cutshaver
Email: genexrs@cox-internet.com
There are two guitars in this song. Albert's is the thinner,
less distorted sounding one. It almost sounds like he's using an
old TubeScreamer. If you listen to the song, you'll be able to
recognize each different guitar part.
There are some serious bends throughout this song, so if you have trouble
bending in tune, you can slide up to the indicated fret. (i.e., in the intro sol
o, there's an 8b10, meaning bend up to the 10th fret, or a whole step. Alternati
vely, you
can slide up to the 10th and back down to the 8th). Also, I've noted underneath
when a note
requires a 1/4 bend.
Also, any harmonic symbols are 'pinch' harmonics.
Again, this transcription isn't perfect, but it's pretty close.
