Brokeback Mountain Chords & Tabs
> Guitar Tabs for the Brokeback Mountain Original Soundtrack
> Artist: Gustavo Santaolalla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Santaolalla)
> Tabbed by: Duffman (duffmantabs@googlemail.com)
Notes:
> / and \ indicate slide up and slide down.
> h and p indicates hammer on and pull off.
> (s) indicates a slow strum using the thumb.
> <#> indicates a natural harmonic over specified fret.
> Notes followed by * are not actually played in the soundtrack, but I have added them as it sounds better
for a guitar solo (minus the symphony backing music).
> (T) indicates to use thumb to depress note (for ease).
