Subject: TAB:  Boston Rain Melody (Enchanting guitars Melody) - Steve Vai
Tabbed & transcribed by Sayavongsa Rathasath

This beautiful song is in the same kind of "Sister"!!!! 
I've tabbed this song until the beginning of the solo guitar!
It's not particularly difficult to play,but however,a remark:
In the verse 2,don't forget to play the ghost notes when you slide the other notes!!!
If I can tab the rest(the solo,but that's not sure!)I send you all the tab!!!
Good work!!!
