Guns+N+Roses - Locomotive

From: sportiga@uoguelph.ca (Steve L Portigal) From: "frederic briere" Subject: g/guns_n_roses/locomotive.tab Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2002 19:35:57 -0500 Artist: Guns N' Roses Song: Locomotive Album: Use your illusion II By Frederic Briere Ilie_cobra@hotmail.com h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend string up r - release bend / - slide up \ - slide down ~ - vibrato t - tap (with strumming hand) x - muted, struck string This is the 5 solos song from Use your Illusion II and one of the fastest song Slash played in the Guns N' Roses era. I transcribed it as a normal tuning but it should be played flat (half-tone down), as in every Guns song. There may be mistakes in repetitive rhythms and I didn't detail the song too much since it is pretty straightforward. The solos are correct though, except possibly the outro. It's pretty complicated but it is very possible to make it sound almost identical, even if the tab isn't perfect. I transcribed a part of the outro but it's much more fun to finish the song improvising really. Hope you have a good time. If you have any comment or suggestion, I'd be willing to modify the song if there are mistakes.
