Author/Artist: Phil Keaggy Title: Arrow Album: 220 Transcribed by: Phil Rose, May 1999 Email: prose *AtSign* ibm.net This is the first half of Arrow off of Phil Keaggys 220 album. This is mostly just the notes. Little attention has been paid to the timing (which is hard to do in tab anyway), other that trying to get the notes in the right measure. This means having the CD is essential to figuring this out. Play along! We're playing a song in church this week that requires some blues licks. Thought I'd learn a few new ones from PK. Most of Arrow is a variety of tasty blues licks, many of which can be transfered to other songs (as usual with the blues). If anyone actually learns this, and wants the second half, I might be willing to tab it for you. But it will cost you twice what this one did, since it has some fast stuff in it :)... Send email to above, or post request on Keaggy-L. Notation: b bend note up. This could be a full tone, half tone, or partial and could be done by hand or with floating wammy bar. You decide... r release the previous bended note. May be a fast or slow release... / slide up \ opposite of / h hammer on ^ usually means note applys to the specific Note: if you want to play this "just like Phil", a wammy bar is required. You can tell most of the time when he uses it. From his Electric Guitar video, it appears he often switches between hand vibrato and wammy vibrato. A nice slow bluesy one is essential. Get Arlon Roths Chicago Blues video if you don't know how to do blues vibrato. Hey, get it anyway!
