S.M.F. as performed on Joe Satriani
by Joe Satriani, !!!!!!!TOTALY COMPLETE!!!!!!
tabbed by Niels Ruelens
This is my first attempt to tab something and I've only been playing for 2 years,
so have mercy on me.
I used a very accurate program for slowing down the hard parts, so I think my tab is
about 100% complete and almost correct. (have mercy)
But enough of the chit-chat. Here's S.M.F. and have fun!
