Artist: YES | Title: close to the edge
Check this random guitar tabs:
Tablature is mostly (but not exclusively) seen for reticulate stringed instruments, in which environment it is commonly titled journalism for brief (except for lute tablature).
It is ofttimes utilised for the guitar, bass, lute, archlute, theorbo, angélique, mandora, gallichon, and vihuela, but in generalisation it crapper be utilised for some reticulate instrument, including ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and viola da gamba, as substantially as some liberated wood aerophones much as the harmonica.

The transcription for all of Yes' "Close to the Edge". Let me give a little advice for folks that want to play it: - Some parts are really easy to play, but overall the song will take a fair amount of work to get down. - for those hard parts, the transcription alone won't do it. you'll need to listen to the song (probably a zillion times) to get Chris' phrasing down. It's tough! And his tone doesn't make it any easier (trust me on this one). Anyway, there's two or three little fills that I missed. Sorry. If anyone has any comments on this, please mail me. Enjoy! scott evans thrash@virginia.edu CLOSE TO THE EDGE Yes ---------------------------------|---------------------------------------|---
