Song: The Loner Artist: Gary Moore Album: Wild Frontier (1987) Tabbed by: Johannes Samuelsson This is probably the greatest instrumental theme of all time! I'm not that good at transcribing songs and the fast fills in the end are just my interpretations but they sound OK. Also I couldn't be bothered so much about the timing so just listen to the song and hopefully you'll get it right. Standard tuning (E A D G B e) Key: h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = ? bend fb= full bend r = return from bend ~ = vibrato / = slide towards the nut \ = slide towards the bridge ()= optional note Slow intro: | (Don't strike any notes after a ? bend or full bend) | e|--------------------------------------17------------------17--| B|-----------------15-------------------------------------------|
