Gackt - Vanilla guitar tab

Author/Artist: Gackt
Title: Vanilla
Album: Mars
Transcribed by: Yann
Email: yann@stig-mata.de

Tuning:  CGCfad
I'm not very sure about the tuning this time, but I found
out, that here again the CGCfad tuning suits best,
especially during the solo.

Anyways: Here it is! Gackt's probably most famous song, the amazing Vanilla. I don't give any guarantees,
I can only say,  it sounds fine when you play along the cd. And I did't pay much attention to note length, so it is necessary
that you listen to the recording to find the rythm out! Riffs are in order of their first appearance
Anyways: Have fun with it!!!

h = hammer on
p = pull off
v = vibrato
x = scratch (lift up left hand fingers a little and play on)
~ = let ring

Guitar 1+2  :  Clean, funky sound.
Guitar 3    :  Distorted. If you like add some Wah during the solo.

Of course, you can play it with one guitar as well. Just remove Guitar 2 and switch channels for the leads and solo.
