*Remember Effect suggestions are my suggestions for the home player.  Usually suggestions are geared for a low budget.  I purposely use effects and equipment that I know everyone can afford, and get their hands on, in an effort to prove that you can get a great sound without mortgaging your house.

Answer notes

 

For this problem we called upon the A-Team.  This is a great lesson in picking out the melody of something.  Sort of like whistling a tune and then transposing what you whistle to the Guitar.  In a lot of cases I used to figure these themes out by doing just that. 

 

We got a wide variety of tabs that came in for this problem.  I think it gave many a hard time.  A lot of people don't like to figure stuff like this out.  I didn't mean it to be hard work and a pain for anyone.  The point of this is to help your ear and again see where your flaws are.  If you get something wrong or your off by just a half step or something, seeing the right answer can alert you to this problem and that in turn can help you correct it.

 

Enjoy the tabs and I'll give some additional tips on the Video Lesson for this problem of course.
