Tubular Bells

Titel: TUBULAR BELLS
Artiest: Mike Oldfield

Ik heb alle stukken verzameld en tot 1 geheel gemaakt. Het eerste deel hieronder
is slechts de akoestische versie van de intro die Mike Oldfield ooit eens live
gespeeld heeft. De rest eronder is van het album.


================================================================================================
This part is originally played on piano and glockenspiel, but I saw
him playing it on guitar in his video "the essential", so I tabbed
it out. This part is only playable with an easy to learn right hand
technique - "it is just hammering between one string and another - I
did it on piano " (Mike). Use your thumb for the notes on d-string
second and third finger for those on g- and b- string respectively.
The beat goes  7/8 7/8 9/8 7/8 - so each note is 1/8 long.

This figure is repeated and repeated - "so I can go on endlesly"
