Okay, here is my transcription of White Feather from
Marillion's Album "Misplaced Childhood" as my warped
ears and mind perceive it. It sounds like the guitar
has a lot of effects on it. To me it sounds like
An octave pedal with two outputs:
The original tone(notated) with a clean sound and
the lower octave with a slight distortion.
Both of these sound to have been fed through chorus
and delay effects. Got me, so here is my best :)
(No Flames, at least I tried. Kind Corrections appreciated)

This next part is tricky to hear, cause there is so much
going on with the guitar and keys and effects. This sound
close to me. You can expand upon this if you want to find
something that you think sounds better.

This is more or less the pattern that most of the rest of
the song follows, with all kinds of overdubs and little fills
that are hard to hear. I'm sorry that it isn't exact, but
neither am I. It mainly centers around a slightly muted pattern
on the top two strings.
Enjoy!
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 MARILLION 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.
