Driving South tab by The Stone Roses

stone roses - driving south
===========================

tabbed by:	D Cornforth
email:		dcornforth@hotmail.com


	This song is taken from the stone roses' second album
called 'The Second Coming'.  I decided to try and tab it out when
pages.
	This is by no means a fully complete version of the song,
for example I have not included the two solos in the tab.  Also,
I think there is more going on in the main riff than I have shown,
and there are some variations to the verse each time it is played.
However, with enough gain and a generous helping of string bends
noone will ever notice :o)
	It is possible to play the verse section in the 12th
position, but it is difficult to reach all the pull-offs on the low
E string.  You could try switching between positions mid-verse if
you fancy showing off a little tho :p
	This tab should only really be taken as a rough guide to
how to play the song, as I am sure there are plenty of mistakes in
what I have written.  If you have any comments/corrections/additions
then please feel free to email me with them.
	I may update this in the future with solos or a more complete
version of the riff, depending on how much time/inclination I have :p
	Hope you enjoy playing the song as much as I do :o)

guide to the tab used

----5h7----	play the 5th fret, then hammer-on to the 7th
----7p5----	play the 7th fret, then pull-off to the 5th
---5h7p5---	play the 5th fret, then hammer-on to the 7th and pull
		off to the 5th, without restriking the string
---5-/7----	play the 5th fret, then slide up to the 7th
---7-\5----	play the 7th fret, then slide down to the 5th
----5b-----	play the 5th fret, then bend the string
---5b-r5---	play the 5th fret, then bend up, then release back
		down to the 5th
---5~~~~---	play the 5th fret with vibrato
---5b~~~---	play the 5th fret, bend up and apply vibrato
----X------	play the string with a left hand mute


note for string bends: 	I have not included destination frets for the
			bends in the tab, as it would make it
			difficult to read.  If you feel the inclusion
			of the pitch of the bends would benefit the
			tab then I may include them at a later date.

======================================================================
This tab is all my own work, and is only my interpretation of the
song - which is why there are so many errors ;o)
