From: calumb@logcam.co.uk (Calum F. Benson) Subject: TAB: Tubular Bells II - The Bell For whoever it was who was looking for TB tabs the other week, and indeed for any other Oldies, here is the tab for The Bell (live Edinburgh Castle version, which does differ very slightly from the studio version). I've conveniently avoided tabbing the section between the end of the tubular bells' part and the start of the solo classical guitar part (well, have you ever tried tabbing flamenco?), but there should be enough here to keep you occupied. The rhythm guitar bit in particular, which is just about playable once through, but try keeping it up all the way to the end (fnar!)....
