     Artist: Verve
     Song:   Star Sail
     Album:  A Storm In Heaven
     Transcriber: T. Barefoot
     
     The tracks on A Storm In Heaven don't lend themselves well
     to transcription.  But maybe that's one reason why I think 
     this disc so great.  
     
     Here are some fragments from Star Sail:
     
     Intro
     E---0---
     B---2---
     G---2---  Chord comes in with a quick volume swell,  
     D---2---  maybe using an envelope generator   
     A---0---  
     E---0---
     
     
     Riff 1.

     "Solo"
     These few notes are pure genius. The way the sound evolves 
     here is just incredible.  A semi-hollow body guitar like a
     Gibson ES series seems critical for reproducing this.
     
     after "....crying out are you there?"
