John McLaughlin's ~One Word~


Tabulature by Sandy Freeze a.k.a.:guitalife

One Word 

 My  TAB here is for John McLaughlin's ~One Word~, from the
album ~Birds of Fire~. Tab here is based on the notion that there's a 
whole lot of whole notes, for three or four bars at a time, so,
the first commas ,,,, indicate 4/4 measures, in quarter note values.
 The Tablature here, of the music from "John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu 
Orchestra" is based on notated scores. 
See all ~One Word~ pages at ~PAGES OF FIRE~, a tribute To John Mclaughlin
