Nsu Live Tab by Cream


NSU by Cream, Live at the reunion concert in 2005 at Royal Albert Hall.

This is all of the song but the Lead part in the middle, that is a little to hard to tab 
it is extensive, I will say that it is played in the key of A, mostly on minor scales, 
he uses a few blues licks with it that are commenly used. Now the tab.

It goes back to intro lick and stuff. The solo lasts about 2-3 minutes long and is in 
key of A, mostly blues stuff. A little to much to tab right now. But the rest of the song 
mostly intro/verse lick and the first chorus lick. Listen to the song, the live version,
to get the tempo right.
