BLUE OYSTER CULT - "Astronomy (solo)" Tablature
Official BLUE OYSTER CULT Tablature & Sheet Music »
PROPS GO TO: Martin ("dr. stein") Hochstein
This version is my own work. However, it's almost identical to the original piece. It was frustrating not to find this solo on the net (although you find thousands of tabs of the Metallica cover version ... have they written the original?!?!). So I had to sit down and tab it. It's a fantastic part of this fantastic song. Not too hard to play for the sophisticated guitarists but a little tricky due to the varying tempo. Best greetings to the real BOC fans and members of the "white slippers" "Plepper" and "Schorsch". Keep on rockin!!! Starts after "Encounter time and then came me" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----5---5-5-8-5-7-5----------------------------------------------------------------- 5-7---7------P---P--7-4-7-----------------7-------------14-12-14-16-14-12-14-12----- -B---------------------H--9-7---------7-9---9-7-----------------B--------H--P---14-- ------------------------------10-9-10-----------7-7-7-7----------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---12----------15-12----------------------------------------8-----10----12----- 14----14-12-14-------14-12----------------------------------10-12-12-14-14-16-- ---------------------------14-12----------------------12-14---B-----B-----B---- ---------------------------------14-13-12----12-13-14-------------------------- ------------------------------------------15----------------------------------- ------------12-------------------14-15-14-12----12-------15-12----------------- ---------------15-12-15-12----15-------------15----15-12---P---15-12----------- 14-12---------------H--P---14------------------------------------P---14-12----- ------14-14------------------------------------------------------------P------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- 14----12-------11-12-11-12-11----11--------------------------------- ---14----14-14---------H--P---14----14-12-------------------14-14-14 ------------------------------------------14-13-12------------------ ---------------------------------------------------15-12-12--------- You need to listen several times to the solo to capture the underlying structure.
