Starry Eyes

Text File
Well for starters, I play this song totally different than any other stuff I have seen
any of the tab sites I have been to, so I figured that I would offer some input on this
because it is one of my favorites by the Crue.
It just seems like every other tab I try to play along with this tune sounds wrong even
I tune down and everything, so anyways here is how I play all the basic parts to "Starry
by Motley Crue.
Mick, you rule.....
M�tley Cr�e - Starry Eyes
by: G. Thomas
Legend:
x= Plam Mute (muffled type pick chop).
(LRS) = Let Ring-a-Second or two.
(LR) = Let Ring
(QS) = Quickly Stop Strings from any further sound (after first initial sound rings).
(R) = Rest
(SU) = Slide Up to
(SD) = Slide Down to
(PS) = Pick Scrape (from the 12th fret or so towards the nut).
(SS) = Stop Sound when 2nd verse starts.
Play the first two open strings together softly and let ring for a second or two then
to play with palm mute (muffled type pick chop) on the two open strings then play the rest
the notes clean till noted otherwise. All open strings are played "choppy" like with
palm mutes after they are played unless otherwise noted.
