Subject: TAB :Mike Oldfield  'THE EXORCIST'

someone asked for the Tubular Bells part which is used 
in the film 'the Exorcist'.
Here it is - and another easy to play part of it.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


                Tubular Bells   ---   Mike Oldfield

                               INTRO

   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.

It's a lot easier if you play it an octave lower, viz.:
(Also from memory, so please forgive any errors - however, it's just
 a fingerpick on an A minor in the first position)
