NUMBER SIX
                             As recorded by Karate`
                         (From the 2001 Album UNSOLVED)

Words by Geoff Farina
Music by Karate
Transcribed by Craig Wynne


I've finally gotten around to working out the guitar part for this great
jazzy piece. The arrangement of the parts goes like this:
Intro, Verses 1 & 2, Solo, Outro (which is the same as the Intro, except
instead of playing the final E7+9 chord, play the Outro licks over top of
the
two drum and bass crescendoes.
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
A couple of things to note; I transcribed the piece @ 40 bpm because that's
what it feels like, but that cuts the last measure of the Intro in half.
Its marked 2/4 to remind you. Finally, I didn't bother with timing of the
solo, but tried to divide it into logical licks to make it easy to see where
you're at.
