Goldfinger - Superman
tuning: standard

a few notes:

just so you all know, this tab is written in a totally different key than the actual version (F major, not sure what the real one is). i did this so it would be easier to play the right chords and still be able to cleanly upstroke them (ska) and make them sound right. 

in the D minor chord on the first riff, and also in the A minor chord on the second riff, those 2 chords actually have hammer-ons if you listen to the song. in the D minor chord, it's the bottom string, and in the A minor chord its on the g string. it's a little hard to hear. they arent really necesary, but give the chords a funkier sound.

at 1:58, there's 2 guitar parts. both are the same three chords. one guitar is always on the downbeats, and the other guitar is on the upbeats, same chords, with the second guitar "answering" the first guitar

at 2:07, the 3rd G minor chord changes slightly from 5333 to 5533

the part right after the bridge (where it's 3 notes that are part of a major triad) are supposed to be natural harmonics, but since this is in a different key, it makes it a little hard to play that. just play it as it's written and it will sound just fine. 

 - downstroke
/ - upstroke
x - harmonic
. - palm mute

i didnt take much time on the solo. there are a lot of little hammers and pulls that i didnt put in, but the notes are right for this particular key. the second guitar here plays the same notes as the bass, distortion on, palm muted...
