From: law2@husc7.harvard.edu (Keith Law)
"Modern Day Cowboy," by Tesla.
From their debut album _Mechanical Resonance_, on Geffen Records.
Words and Music by Jeff Keith, Frank Hannon, and Tommy Skeoch.
From GFTPM, August 1989. Issue out of print, I think.
Painstakingly computerized by Keith Law, law2@husc.harvard.edu.
T = play with thumb
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
^ = bend ^q = quarter tone^h = half tone^F = full tone
if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
7^F^7 = pick 7, full bend up, bend back down to original note
h = hammer
p = pull-off
g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
~ = vibrato
A.H. = artificial harmonic; note in parentheses is note to be sounded
Notes:
1) When two staffs (one above the other) are connected at measure marks by a
| symbol in the space between the staffs, that indicates that the top staff is
Guitar I, the bottom is Guitar II, and that the two parts should be played
simultaneously.
2) DS al Coda means return to the point marked SEGNO, then when the
word "Coda" appears go the appropriate coda.
