This is how I play the main theme to "Cliffs of Dover."  It's a bit tricky;
I can't get it to come out quite as quick and clean as Mr. Johnson does,
but then again, he's a pro.

It'ud probably really help to have a copy of the album to play along with.

My notation is:

/     a slide
~     vibrato or tremolo--wiggle yer fingers
'     bend the string
h     hammer on
p     pull off
&     Smash yer amp with yer guitar, light the wreckage on fire then dive
      into the audience



In 4/4, with a pretty fast (190 b.p.m. or thereabouts) shuffle-ish beat.

He does all sorts of pervertations and convolutions on this;  the last
bar is also played:

This is my bash at the intro to the song;  I'm afraid that I can differentiate
the different bits into bars--just play the lot as fast as you can.

My Notation is:

/  slide

\  slide

'  bend

~  vibrato

h  hammer on

p  pull off


This is my first tab so do not be too
critical of my notation. The notes should
be correct because I learned the song
from the book and it sound pretty good
to me.  Good Luck and have fun
