Jeff Beck – Blue Wind (Guitar Tab)

Auto-scroll

Chords

by Jan Hammer and Jeff Beck from the album "wired" Tabbed by Keith Kujath ([email protected]) 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 ~ = vibrato p = pull h = hammer (x) = harmonic
