This was tabbed by Greg
BE YR MAMA
(from the self titled
album "Sleater-Kinney")
NOTES: Tuning 'D G C f a d' -- I think
(Note: This song can be played in standard tuning)
The rhythm, although notated as accurately as possible, is
not perfect. Play this version along with the original
recording a few times to get an overall feel for the rhythm.
If playing along with the original song, slight tuning of your
instrument may be necessary to accomodate for the speed of
your playback machine.
There are slight variations between this transcription and
the original song.
The numbers 1 and 2 to the left of the notation represent
guitar 1 and guitar 2 respectively.
The symbol ' // ' with the letters 'sl' above it designate
a slide.

(In the following section, after the vocals have started, Guitar 1
changes every two times through. Rather then waste space by notating
it unabridged, I have shown the other two changes right below this
section)

(As this section progresses, there are minor picking changes made by
guitar 1. Also, towards the end of this section, guitar 1 does the
slides more often. As always, listen to the song for details.)
