----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letters of Marque - Allan Holdsworth ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Transcribed by Robert Strange ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was tuned a half-step down when I transcribed this, so everything is a semitone up from standard tuning. I couldn't be bothered to rectify this, sorry... | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | ^ slight bend up | V dive on bar | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I transcribed this a few years ago, there's about half of the solo here. The notes are correct, and although I carefully chose where to transcribe them to minimise picking and add emphasis where needed, you may wish to play them in different positions. Personally, transcribing and learning to play other people's music doesn't interest me anymore, nor did it ever seem to benefit me in any way, but hopefully somebody will get something out of this. Have fun. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e|----------------------11h13~/15~p11~h14p13p11~----------------------------|
