The Raincoats "Off Duty Trip"(1979) http://www.myspace.com/theraincoats standard tuning Guitars alternate between choppy, staccato riffing and ringing out partial chords. Listen to the song to get the proper feel. If something should ring out a bit, I've put in this symbol (~) and if there's an abrupt rest, I've used an asterisk (*).
