Dying Embers basics.

I play this very freely, so the count here is just for a rough layout. Once again, MIDI bends are terrible.
I've tried writing these things out in two or three voices, but really all that did was to make the case for
learning from watching and listening since there's no properly established way of showing these licks
in complete form in tablature - the tab system for bends arrived during a period when a lot of shred solos
were being transcribed, and it worked kinda-sorta for them, but doesn't work well in polyphony.
There are interesting historical artefacts too - the parentheses around a tablature note to indicate that it
is bent come from the days when tablature was written out on a typewriter.
Transcription in standard notation is quite straightforward if we don't worry about having MIDI play it - Adrian Legg
we show a slur with a "B" over the top. But - this is video based learning and a wonderful thing it is too.
