"Blue Wind"
by Jan Hammer and Jeff Beck
from the album "wired"
Tabbed by Keith Kujath (shredbaron@aol.com)

Greetings!
Here is a modest attempt at a very hot tune.  I tabbed it in free time b/c I
wouldn't know how to notate it anyway.  I've included the first two guitar
solo passes.  (Keyboard players are on your own)  In the main theme, the
guitar follows the bass line-but drops out during the third time around to
finish the solo bit.  I labeled this "riff A" and notated where to insert it.

' =bend up
~ =shake
p =pull
h =hammer
(x)=harmonic
