SOMEBODY TO LOVE - Jefferson Airplane, 1967
-------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Callalou

Tuning: Standard
A classic tune from the 1967 album Surrealistic Pillow. There are plenty of great tabs
on here for Paul's chords, but I couldn't find any for Jorma's lead. Most of the solo is
in F# minor pentatonic.
There are plenty of little breaks throughout the song where Jorma solos; I've tabbed
them all as well as the long coda solo at the end.
Use high treble and lots of reverb and chorus to get that airy sound.
Notes:
pb = Pre-bend to note indicated, hit it, and release back to normal position while note rings.
b = Bend to note indicated / slight bend if no value
p = pull off
r = release
x = mute note right after hitting
w = drop pitch with whammy bar
44 = tremolo
