Echoes - Pink Floyd
                     (Gilmour/Mason/Waters/Wright)


Here is the long awaited guitar solo for Echoes- most of it
anyway- as well as the build-up before the last verse.

The timing is only roughly indicated- but it's generally two bars per line
unless otherwise noted.

Use your neck pickup and smooth distortion.

Here is the lead in from the chorus:

      C#m

From here this is a composite of two guitar parts arranged for one:

There is actually another eight bars, but I don't have them tabbed out.
I just jam in the C#m minor pentatonic blues box at the 9th fret. Use
a lot of unison bends and you'll be fine

On to Solo 2, the "jam" solo-


Rhythm Part (Clean):

 C#m                     C#m

G-----------------------!----------------------
D-----------------------!----------------------
A--2h4-------2h4--4---2h!4--4----2h4---4----2h-
E-----------------------!----------------------

Repeat many times.

Solo:

Crank up the fuzz (Dave liked the Fuzz Face and Big Muff) add lots of echo,
stand close to your amp, and let it wail . . .

harmonized melody, and another adds some monstrous Drop-D fills:

Repeat all guitar parts once with slight variation to guitars 2 & 3.
(Listen to the record- it's getting late and I'm tired . . .)

Finally then, guitars 2 & 3 drop out and we switch back to C#m as we get
ready for the last verse:

Repeat both parts once and then go into the last verse.

Well, that's all I've got tabbed out for now. Have fun with it. I'm sure
there are mistakes, but this is only my interpretation of the song etc.
