Song For A Son Chords & Tabs
Tuning:Standard
Ok,I have not given all the technique on how to play the song but here is something you
know…‘b’ obviously means bend,an ‘h’ above the ‘b’ means half bend and the ‘w’ above the
means whole bend and so on.The tp in the solo means trem pick.Last of all the ‘ah’
means artificial harmonic,theyre almost semi-ah,by this I mean you can hear the note you pick
