EXTREME - "Flight Of The Wounded Bumble Bee" Tablature

"Flight of the Wounded Bumble Bee" by Nuno Bettencourt
You might be dissapointed to find out that the entire song is
played over a delay - effectively doubling the tempo (a trick to make it
sound like Nuno played it real fast.) The drum sounds come from a drum
machine which was MIDI'd to the delay, which is set at about 200 ms. (1/5
of a second). I'll show all the notes including ones created by the delay
for the first line and then omit them (the delayed notes) for the rest of the
piece. Depending on your playing ability, I would suggest learning the
song with a delay closer to 240 - 270 ms.. Even with the delay making it
faster, 200 ms. is VERY fast -- I can only play the piece with the delay
set at 215 ms.

For the rest of the solo (which I think was posted
before,) Nuno plays all of the notes listed in time
with the delay which creates a doubling harmony (It
sounds like two notes at once.)

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 EXTREME 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.
