Ritchie Blackmore
Title: "Lovely Joan (The Spirit Flies Free)"
Album: "Blackmore's Kingdom" '98
________________________________________
The song seems to be celtic ballad, so take care
that notes under beat marks will be accented
(emphazed) pretty noticeably (more accented
under | - less under ,). This concerns only
riffs A, A2 & B. C & D are lyric and flowing,
you can even play 'em as separate song.
For all riffs let strings ring thruout.
/\ - slide up/down
h - hammer on
p - poul off
~ - vibrato
s - strum (always downward), written above affected row.
Cx - barre at x-th fret, written under affected row.
||o-o||||---|| repeat twice parts concluded in such bracets.||o-o||
