"Downhill Racer" by TNT
Artist : TNT
Song : Downhill Racer
Album : Realized Fantasies
Tuning : A half a step lower
Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net)
Another fun song to play on the guitar! The intro
has the rhythm of 3/4 instead of normal 4/4. If you can't
play it, listen to it million times until you can feel the
beat :) The guitar solo has the trill with the pick just
like in Daisy Jayne. After bending the G string at the 14th
fret, tap on the 16th fret as fast as you can. Then keep on
tapping while your left finger moves. Enjoy!
