Here's the first part of Jeff Beck's Drown in My Own Tears done by ear. I made it a few
ago, and it's just a by ear transcription so it's not totally accurate. The thing is,
had so many little idiosyncracies in his playing. His phrasing with volume swells, how
he picks, etc. Those things are really hard to tab out, so I didn't. This tab should be
as just a guide. Well anyway here it is:

Well that's up to a minute forty in the song. After that Jeff just goes ape with
and harmonics etc. and makes it impossible to tab. So just improvise a lot with that
of
and you should be good. E-mail me at popupdonkey@hotmail.com if there's any problems. Thanks.
