STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND- Difficulty 6/10 ---------------------------------------------------------- Straightforward riff and a lovely solo! There are various fills in this song but I have not included them for reasons of simplicity, for a more advanded version please email me. If I give you the lines I trust you'll be able to work out the arrangement (i.e. when different parts return etc) :) ~ = slide or hammer on/off # = mute/damp (achieved by pressing the fret half-down or putting another finger slightly on the next fret) |(notes)| = tuplet ! = accented (play harder on that note) {}= harmonics * = staccato (play the note shorter) " = tenuto (play the note to its full length) Opening and during verse (if you can't work this out you're a real dumbass): G: ------------------------------------------ D: ------------------------------------------ A: ------------------------------------------ Till guitars come in E: -0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-- When guitars come in: G: ------------------------------------------------------------------- D: ------------------------------------------------------------------- A: ------------------------------------------------------------------- E:-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-3"---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0~10~------------------ (the verse is just simply an open E) "No Brave New World..."
