Salamanders In The Sun - Steve Vai
Transcribed by Keith Railton (keefa@disposable.com)
The nice ditty from Flex-able...
NOTES:
The song's basically in 6/8, although it may be better to think of this as
12/16 as the accents change regularly. Listen out carefully for the 'swing'
feel bits in the second part.
I haven't worked out the harmony as the this file is already three weeks
late for the ol' home page! Sounds pretty basic... good ear training
exercise!
P.S. = Picked slide, pick the note that you slide to as well as the one
you slide from...
