----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUTURE FLASH - Girlschool ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Anne Drury Email: zerofret_ad@hotmail.com Corrections to main riff by: Jason Date: May 18, 2005 Written by: K. Johnson, K. McAuliffe Album: "Hit and Run" (1981, Bronze Records/Re-issue on Castle, 2004) Notes: ^...bend h...hammer on r...release bend p...pulloff tp..tremolo pick tr..trill pm..palm mute /...slide up <>..pinch harmonic x...dead note -Tuning: Standard -Bar lines are used to separate sections of music. They don't indicate actual timing. The song is in 4/4 time. -The song is in F# minor. Guitar solo parts are primarily in F# pentatonic minor (some parts in F# minor). -The tab of the guitar solo is a fairly loose rendering of the solo. Be particularly wary of the fourth staff (measures 12-16 of the solo). "unin" written on that staff means 'unintelligible', (meaning that I can't hear exactly what the guitar is playing on that part). -Play all chords as 5th chords. Intro: (Figure 1 and Figure 2 are played together.)
