Rain Cowboy Bebop TAbbed by SJ (kirei_008@hotmail.com) This is just the solo. Thats pretty much the only guitar part in the whole song, most of it is played by an organ piano thing. There are two versions of the song, one sung by a girl and the other sung by some guy. The one that was played in the TV episode "Ballad of Fallen Angels" was the one with the woman, where the solo is cut off by Spike and Viscous talking (which is indicated in the tab by \) Anyways the rest of the tab is for the 'full version' which is with the guy. --------------15b-15--15------------ ---------8s13------------11--------- --8s14-----------------------15----- --------------------------------15-- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- / -----15h16-15h16--------------18-- / -----------------17--15-14-------- / --15------------------------------ / ---------------------------------- / ---------------------------------- / *Bend this one even more then the one before * -----------s16-15-13-15--23b-23b-23-- ----18-18---------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- From: PolokTheLegend@aol.com To: kirei_008@hotmail.com Subject: Rain Solo Correction. Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2003 19:00:36 EDT Rain Solo Correction: Well.....your tab is mostly right, but heres a way that not only sounds better but is easier too. In the beginning x x 5 part you wanna do a somewhat slow sweep over those 3 notes you only want the 5 heard though. At the end with the 22 it was kinda hard for me cause I only have 22 frets. So I pick 22, bend up a bit, then I pick it a second time at the top of the bend. To finish off I hit 22 alone as the last note with no bend. The whole bend release pull is sort of just one quick smooth motion where you bend up then back to normal position then pull , then pick 15 right after. It's not too confusing. Just play this way a couple of times to the song and you'll get it. Real fun and easy. Let me know if you agree whenever you get the chance. Your way isn't really wrong. You just make a couple things harder than they should be. Let me know what you think. Without any further ranting i give you the tab below. r=release p=pull /=slide h=hammer ^=bend Better Way: -----5----5h6h8-8---15^rp13-15---------------------------- -- x------------------------------------11-11------------------ -x----------------------------------------------12/10--------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- -----10h11-10h11-8----------------13---13---15^rp13-15-----22^--22---- -11----------------------11-10------------------------------------------------ ------- -----------------------------------10----------------------------------------- ----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
