Title: A Tendency To Start Fires
Album: Razorblade Suitcase
Transcribed by: Park
Email: [email protected]
Standard Tuning- ebgdaE
This is one of Bush's best songs. I tried my hardest
to align the two guitar parts perfectly, but as
long as you listen to the CD, you should figure
out when to add the slides. I added at what time
each riff is played in the song, to hopefully
prevent any confusion, but if there’s a question or
comment, email me.
* A lot of ////'s means to just slide down the neck with the slide, using
a 'vibrato' style*
