|-----3-----------|-------------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-------------------|-----------------|-----------------| -------------------- This TAB is meant only as an add-on to the "DreamOn.crd" that can already be found at Nevada (thank you, whoever you are). Fills 1, 4, and 5 are based on F pentatonic minor, and Fill 3 is based on C pentatonic minor. Fill 2 is just based on the chords that back it, and the solo is based on the intro. I suppose a word is in order about my notation for slides. If the note that you slide *to* has a slash directly in front of it, the note is not picked. If there is a space between the slash(es) and the note, then the note *is* picked. I realize this may be confusing, but I wanted to be precise. Corrections, questions, comments, etc. always welcome! -- Kevin Bourrillion Bradley University IITYWYGMTB phlegm@cs1.bradley.edu Geisert 804 (309) 677-1193
