Hello 1973
Greg Harper *


I can play it without a retune!!
My mate Ant asked me how you play the
weird guitar parts following my version
of the chords-just worked it out.
This isn't how Rick plays it but its the
closest you can get without a retune.
I love this song. I've done enough tabs of it!




h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
v or ~ - vibrato
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping
