HOLE HEARTED - Extreme
(From "Pornograffiti", 1990)

Hole Hearted is not really that hard to play.  The only tricky
part is the following that I've given below.  The rest, I'm sure
you've figured or can figure out easily enough.

This is a positively funky sound.  Play it on the twelve string
like Nuno and you get that full sound.

HOLE HEARTED - Extreme
(From "Pornograffiti", 1990)
Written by Nuno Bettencourt and Gary Cherone. Performed by Extreme.
Tab by Edwin (eliu@mechanical.watstar.uwaterloo.ca)
    and Anand "Indy" Kumar (st001904@hrz1.hrz.th-darmstadt.de)

Here's the complete song (without the overdubs).

The hard part was done by Edwin (eliu@mechanical.watstar.uwaterloo.ca),
to whom I send my special thanks. Wouldn't have tried this one without his
encouraging words: "Hole Hearted is not really that hard to play."

Didn't include the lyrics with all this copyright stuff going on.

Personally, I didn't find the rest that easy to figure, so I'll post it.
If you're having a hard time too, I hope it serves you.

That's all. Not 100% sure of the voicings, but Nuno plays 12 string and I can
only afford 6, so everything he plays sounds so rich to me, that I tried to play
the maximum amount of strings possible. (How do you call chords like "E7(+sus4)"
properly ???)
