From: "Colin Dawson" Subject: b/big_country/porrohman.tab Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 17:42:11 +0100 Porrohman by Big Country from the Album "The Crossing" Tab by Colin Dawson; colin_g_dawson@hotmail.com Stuart plays the intro with lots of delay; delay volume only slightly = lower than the original signal. Use lots of repeats on the delay and use = chorus to fill out the sound. You'll get a great effect and the delay does a = lot of the work for you; it will play the notes in brackets for you making the riff much easier to play. I've only included the bracketed = notes in the first 4 bars (coz it was too much like hard work) but they = continue as long as the riff does. Stuart uses various different pitch shift and octaver settings at different parts of the intro - and during the e-bow sections - sometimes it's an octave up sometimes a fifth or a seventh up = I think. Listen to the live King Biscuit Flower Hour version and you'll = hear this clearly. I've added Bruce's parts at the end.
