Auto-scroll

An amazing song, it's very underrated. Some nice guitar licks here. My first almost full tab, with help from my guitar teacher. Song : Teen Archer Band : Blue öyster Cult Tabbed by geosword.backup and Zelko Glamocanin (Teacher in ABC School Of Music) [Intro] Pick from the G string first, then go up the neck. An upstroke essentially. Intro riff

Guitar solo coming soon...maybe. Either gonna be a seperate tab or this text here will be changed to the solo. Anyways Interlude riff 2 (might not be correct) Played very fast

Then play it again an octave higher. If this part isn't correct, i think my guitar teacher said it's a variation of the 4th position of the G minor scale. ANYWAYS Outro riff 1
