Song Title: Put Out The Fire
Artist: Queen (Brian May)
Tabbed by: bmchrestoff (May 23, 1988 to May 29, 1988)
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) Standard Tuning and No Capo
2) Brian May uses two tracks to lay down the guitar work but I have tabbed
the song f/ just one guitar. Guitar #2 pops in and out at certain points
in the song f/ emphasis but I just made this a Composite Arrangement
of Guitars #1 & #2. Sticking in some of the Guitar #2 chords can be tricky
3) I tabbed the Intro showing how Brian May produced those cool chords that
most guitarist have always thought are just three simple D chords being
struck.....not so
4) All the quick bends Brian sneaks in are brought up a 1/2 step or semitone
5) I added some $$ Optional known "Live" chord grips that Brian used Live
6) Brian's Guitar Solo was partly taken from a Star Licks Series VHS Tape I still
have where he shows you how to play it correctly. I tabbed both Guitars
