BOSTON - "peace of mind" Tablature
Official BOSTON Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: Eric Liang <meeric@wam.umd.edu>
Subject: Boston Peace of Mind
I finally got around to transcribing all this stuff.
So here's "Peace of Mind". Notation: A ^ indicates hammer-on
or pull-off (I think using h and p is stupid). A b indicates
a bent note. i.e. 5b6 means bend the fifth fret up to the pitch
that the 6th fret makes, i.e., a half step. A / means slide, though
I'm not sure if there are any in this song.
Well, anyway here it is:

Then two guitars come in and do this (arranged for 1 guitar)

That's pretty much all the parts to the song.
Happy playing

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BOSTON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
