Goodbye Stranger


Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger From the album: Breakfast In America Transcribed by: Travis Lausch This song is incredibly dynamic, and features a lot of volume shifts, so I've marked out. I couldn't really be bothered transcribing the ending solo's rhythm as it's really It's not that hard to figure out something for yourself there. Actually, I'm not even sure if is any guitar in that section or not. Portions of this tab are based on a Guitar Pro tab I on this site, but some parts of the solo and otherwise were learned by ear.
