LIBERTY by STEVE VAI.
TAKEN FROM THE ALBUM PASSION AND WARFARE
from Chris Wilkinson. Sheffield, England
This is the first piece of tab I have sent and I hope that the format used
corresponds to the norm. The piece is relatively easy to play apart from
the last section which does tend to go rather quickly.
Good luck with this brilliant piece of guitar music.
I dont know how many people access these tab sites so if you do happen to
download this please could you e-mail me to let me know. If I get a reasonable
response then I will post some more. If when you e-mail you let me know of
any songs you are after ( I mainly play Steve Vai, Joe satriani etc), I will
look at the list and try to post some. Please get in touch as I will try to
help anyone in the search for getting that song played correctly.
CHEERS!!!!! and enjoy it
love and peace!!
Chris
