Hi,

I just worked out the intro to Rhiannon (I believe Rhiannon is the name
of a Welsh horse---goddess). I play it with slightly extra bass, a fair
bit of reverb & a fair bit of distortion. I put my strat---copy onto the
bass pickup & got a pretty good immitation of the recording. I found
that by getting this riff going well you can really get "stoned" on
it!!!

PS --- I'm combining both guitar parts --- it's not too hard to play
them both together (I pluch with my fingets rather than with a pick).

To make it easier to learn the synchopation, I'm including timings
as follows:

Above the tab staff - refers to the two top notes.
Below the tab staff - refers to the (one) bass note. NB there is a
crotchet rest in the bass line at the start.

0.5 = quaver
1.0 = crotchet
1.5 = dotted crotchet
2.0 = minum
2.5 = minum+quaver
3.0 = minnum+crotchet = dotted minum
etc

0.5 1.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 1.0 2.5
E---------------0---------------|-------------------------------|

After this, the verse starts. The first two of every four bars in the
verse is the same as above, but just hold the:

E-----
B-----
G--2--
D--3--
A-----
F--0--

chord for the second two bars during the verse (although there are
improvisations in these bars sometimes). Stay tuned for a more complete
version one day.....
