Love And Affection by Def Leppard

Tabs

Def Leppard
                Love and Affection
              From the album 'Hysteria'

Tabbed by Ian Marquis
[email protected]

I've been looking for a tablature for this song for a long time. Well, I never
found one, so here's my take on it. I've tried to make it as complete and
exhaustive as possible. Of course, there are a few places where I've missed
things, but in general, it's pretty complete. Also, some of the parts might not
be exactly correct. Def Leppard recorded a million tracks for each song on this
album, so it's really difficult to figure out exactly what's playing at each
second. I didn't have anything to work from, so this is totally my work.

In the record version, Steve plays a Gibson Firebird through a Scholz Rockman.
I'm not sure what Phil plays, but he also uses a Scholz Rockman for effects.

Notation:

/ - Slide
> - Ramp Up Volume From 0
< - Ramp Down Volume To 0
m - Palm Muting
w - Wah
X - Pick Rake
~ - Vibrato
v - Tremelo
h - Hammer On / Pull Off

Note: I have tabbed multiple guitar tracks for some measures. Look
for the joined bars on the left side.

And that's basically it. If you feel like using this tablature to make
your own, go right ahead, but GIVE ME CREDIT. I worked on this for a decent
amount of time, so don't rip me off. Other than that, knock yourself out.
