Fat Old Sun Solo

Pink Floyd

Text File

This is my very first submission so don't be too rude on me ;P
I'm a real fan of Pink Floyd so I wanted to learn a solo and this one was the one I found:
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/p/pink_floyd/fat_old_sun_solo_tab.htm.
It's very well done, but to my ears, it didn't sound right (sorry ;P) so here is the version
I think that may be a bit better (I corrected some errors and added some notes. Plus, I also
implemented bars (|) to put emphasis on the pauses because it's very important to 
get it right). ;)
I recommend you to listen to the song so you can know how long are the pauses because
it's varying on a kind of huge scale:

Sorry for not correcting the whole solo, but anyway...
I'm pretty sure this is the best start of that intro that is on that site ;D

Have fun playing it,
