BOSTON - "Rock And Roll Band" Tablature
Official BOSTON Tablature & Sheet Music »
PROPS GO TO: Peter Vlahandreas
OK, here's a decent tab of Rock and Roll Band. The solo's kinda sketchy,
because there's two guitars, and I only bothered with one. I think
by now you know my bend notation, but if I haven't explained it, it's
like this: 14b16 means bend 14 up to the note that 16 would make, i.e.
a full step. 16b14 means bend the note before picking and then bring it
down to pitch (down a full step in this case). The / means slide up, \
means slide down. So here's Rock and Roll Band...

The 1-3 is the ending of the lick for times 1-3, 4. for the 4th,
etc. After the sixth time it goes

Then back to the verse and chorus, etc. The solo goes something
like this, but there's two guitars and I only did one.

The rest of the song is pretty much just verse/chorus stuff.
Have fun,
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.
