Artist: Verve
Song: Star Sail
Album: A Storm In Heaven
Transcriber: T. Barefoot

The tracks on A Storm In Heaven don't lend themselves well
to transcription. But maybe that's one reason why I think
this disc so great.

Here are some fragments from Star Sail:

Intro
E---0---
B---2---
G---2--- Chord comes in with a quick volume swell,
D---2--- maybe using an envelope generator
A---0---

"Solo"
These few notes are pure genius. The way the sound evolves
here is just incredible. A semi-hollow body guitar like a
Gibson ES series seems critical for reproducing this.

after "....crying out are you there?"
