Will it go Around in Circles

as performed by Trey at one of his solo shows
Tabbed by: Gabe Jessee < iloveff1999@yahoo.com >

Note: The intro is really hard to nail but what I have below is my best guess
If anyone has any other ideas about the intro let me and everyone else know.

Legend
------

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend
r = bend release
/ = slide up/down
<5> = natural harmonic
[5] = artifical harmonic
~ = vibrato
tr = trill

INTRO VERSE I got a song it aint got no melody

Then play the verse and chorus again and then the Jam in in A.
I use an A minor Pent. and add an F# note for a littel more melody.

Will It Go Round in Circles

Voicings:

Ab x-4-5-6-6-4

Bdim7 x-6-7-6-x-7

Bbm7 x-6-6-6-8-6

F x-1-2-3-3-1

Gb x-2-3-4-4-2

Abm7 x-4-4-4-6-4

Db x-6-6-6-4-x

When I play it, I like to just use the two lowest notes to play the Ab,
F and Gb giving it a little more balls. Hope this helps.

The lick:

-------------------
-------------------
-------------------
-6-4---------------
-----6-4-----------
---------7-6-4-2-4-

*** note: this descending passage is played by the keyboards and

perhaps one guitar

The bass pauses for the first five notes then ascends like this:

-1-2-3-4-
