One of These Days - Pink Floyd
Tabbed by: chinups75
This is a wicked song by Pink Floyd with a simple but awesome bass line and sweet
guitar work. There are no real main riffs or solos, so I've tabbed it in sections
with the time to help you.
*Note: / = slow slide up to, \ = slow slide down, s = quick slide,
^ = bend, v = vibrato, h = hammer-ons
**Note: When I don't write where the slide goes down to or starts, it's usually because
in the song it fades away, so it's safe to assume its an open note (for notes) , or an E
Power Chord (for power chords)(022xxx).
***Note: A whammy bar will help match the sounds in the song on some of the bends and
slides.
Here are the piano chords I tabbed for the guitar that are used for most of the song: (Repeating pattern)e|--------------------------------------------------|B|----16----14----16--------------------------------|G|----16----14----16--------------------------------|D|----16----14----16--------------------------------|A|----14----12----14--------------------------------|E|--------------------------------------------------|

This is where two guitars get layered and you get some wicked sounds.
I just tabbed the same guitar used in the rest of the song.
