Marillion - Fantastic Place
===========================

Tabbed by Mike C (smilock@hotmail.com)

Tab Explanation
===============

s       Slide
h       Hammer-on
p       Pull-off
T       Tap
B       Bend the note to the fret after the B
R       Release back to the originally bent note
A.H.    Artificial Harmonic
m       Palm Muted
//      Trem Pick (Pick as fast as possible)

Guitar 1 - Very Slightly Distorted Electric
Guitar 2 - Acoustic Guitar
Guitar 3 - Slightly Distorted Electric
Guitar 4 - Distorted Electric

For Guitar 1, I use an overdrive effect at 50% drive. There is also an added
tremolo effect set to repeat at 16ths with a medium depth. There is also a 
delay effect set around 650ms (1/4 notes). This guitar also has a slight edge
on the bass and mid frequencys.
