Date: Thu, 1 May 2003 23:13:13 EDT From: Mauroavilez@aol.com Subject: j/journey/escape.tab I was a high school freshman when Journey released ESCAPE in 1981. The title song blew me away; it was about youthful rebellion. I've always considered this song severely underrated. It's a Journey song that kicks butt. Anyway, this is a long song, and has a lot of changes, but its a good cover tune to know.   Notation: p.m. = palm mute ^ = 1 1/2 step bend         > = accent     * = half step bend        ~~~  = vibrato bar + = whole step bend        <5> = natural harmonic {4} = pinch harmonic         v = whole step bend before picking, then release   Intro.
