Tabs
Song: White Summer
Artist: Yardbirds (Jimmy Page is on the guitar)
Album: Little Games Sessions and More
TAB by: Danny Schoknecht ([email protected])
Notes on the TAB:
I searched forever to find a Yardbirds version of this
TAB,
but all I could find were Led Zeppelin versions, so I hope
that I'm helping some people out. I tabbed this out without
the help of another tab or book.
Note:
Jimmy is using finger picks (including thumb), plus he is
playing an acoustic guitar with an unwound 
G+G string, that
is why it sounds so twangy. The tuning is:
Dadgad (low to high)
Good luck!
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
p - pull off
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
- natural harmonic
v- vibrato
