BANDITOS
As recorded by The Refreshments
(From the 1996 Album FIZZY FUZZY BIG & BUZZY)
Transcribed by Wunderdog
I couldn't find the two monster solos in this song anywhere on the net.
The verse riff is included here first and it forms the first part of the
2nd solo as well. Has been checked for playback using PowerTab.
This was tons of work. I hope someone can use it!
Duration Legend
---------------
Fret numbers in brackets are not struck but are held over (tied) from the
previous strike.
W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th
+ - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; .. - note double dotted
Irregular groupings are notated above the duration line
Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the
duration for. Duration letters with no fret number below them represent rests.
Tablature Legend
----------------
h - hammer-on
p - pull-off
b - bend
r - bend release (if no number after the r, then release immediately)
s - legato slide
~ - vibrato
Gtr I (E A D G B E) - 'Lead'
