Talking In Your Sleep Tab by Romantics Talking In Your Sleep The Romantics Standard Tuning Three dashes = 1/8 note I'm not sure how many guitars there really are but I've tabbed this song with three guitar parts: Guitar 1 -- Clean, thin telecaster-like sound Guitar 2 -- Clean, thin telecaster-like sound Guitar 3 -- Clean but fuller sound with Chorus effect For the intro, there are definitely three guitars. For the prechorus, it sounds like two but the fingering seems impossible so I've indicated three guitars. Playing this song with one guitar is a challenge. I've tabbed out what I actually play on one guitar below the "correct" tab.
