Vicious by Lou Reed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vicious Lou Reed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : Phil Starr e-mail: This is not an exact copy which I think would need at least a fretless but it works when played along with the record. Simple to play and you will develop your own variation.

Listen to the record for the rhythm. I find myself slipping in extra notes dropping some out for variation. The song is very forgiving. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note =============================================================================== www.TAB6.com
