Boston - More Than a Feeling
Previous Tab: Oliver K. Reichl (oliver@taperecorder.ca)
(remove 'tape' for actual address)
This Version: Harry (tab@electricweb.org.uk)
This tab corrects various minor inaccuracies in the previous version, fills
in a lot of missing parts, and has a full the arrangement to play the album
version of the song.
Key:
bX - bend X tones (½ tone = 1 semitone, equivalent to going up a fret)
r - release a bend
hX - hammer on to fret X
p - pull off to preceding note
/ - slide
. - mute
- Artificial harmonic at X (fret the note at X-12 and pinch at fret X)
~ - Vibrato
x - Dead note (play a heavily muted string)

Additional Notes by Oliver K. Reichl:
There are at least five "guitars" in this tune. The electric is
definitely some sort of Les Paul (of vintage stock with Scholzian
modifications, no doubt).
Guitar #1: 12-string acoustic
Guitar #2: 6-string electric (rhythm, power chords)
Guitar #3: 6-string electric (leads-melody)
Guitar #4: 6-string electric (leads-harmony)
Guitar #5: bass guitar
