# Date: Sun, 01 Dec 1996 14:25:36 +0100 From: Olivier Biffaud /-------------------------------------\ | Guardian Angel | | -------------- | | | | from Friday Night In San Fransisco | | | | Transcription : Olivier Biffaud | | E-Mail : * | \-------------------------------------/ Though this tablature is based on the original score , it does certainly contains many mistakes... I hope you will forgive me ;^) ! By the way if you don't agree with anything, just E-mail me to the address above. Your comments are also welcome !! (Please send compliments in priority 8-) ) ------------------------------- very easy and it took me numerous hours of work; hopefully I'm 17, thereby I've got a lot of freetime and guitar is a real passion for me, so I tried to do my best to allow peoples who can't read solfa to play this masterpiece. You may have to listen to the CD to find the correct timing, as it's very difficult to put a lot of symbols on a tab without making it unreadable... Note: The | on the tab symbolises the bar line : I tried to respect it but it's hard to write a 2 figure number in only 1 character; when you read something like --121110-- it means you have to play fret 12, then 11, and finally 10. ------------------------------- | | | | | |--------3---------2-----0-----0-------------------0---------------------| P J
