Peter Frampton – While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Guitar Intro Tab)

Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

As Recorded by Peter Frampton from the Album “Now” original song by The Beatles I divide the intro into sort of packages and put the seconds between each two as heard on the “Now” album. And a recommendation for the first package: I used the 1st and 3rd fingers for the 5th and 7th fret, and the 4th finger for the hammer on, and did a little tapping with my right hand for the 10p7.
