The album from a musician's view

[Herbie Flowers Is God]

So little is said about the music itself. It was great to read the snippets of info on the new JW site on the songs but that just left me wanting to know more..
Horsell, you're in the know, are there any plans to release a musical score or even better, a guitar tab book of the album? That would be the icing on the cake..

BTW, if anyone's interested, I'm currently tabbing the entire bass score, so I can post it up and we can swap ideas etc..

Cheers.

There is a music book, I think it's the piano/vocal/guitar one, I took it out of my library several years ago.

Thats correct. There was a book made in 1978 and then released again in the early 1990s, but sadly its no longer available.

I can suggest it to Jeff, but that's all I can do Im afraid, but it may be worth while popping over to Jeff's site and posting up a question on it in the 'Ask Jeff' section

I'd be extremely happy if there was a guitar tab book available. A lot of it is fairly easy to figure out but a lot isn't, at least for a hack like myself. There is some sweet guitar work/tone on this album. Sounds mostly like a Strat to me but I have yet to nail the tone with my setup.

Nice post, Dagon! Tabbing the bass! Sounds like a lot of work but good luck. There is very little guitar tab on the net that I know of. I believe the chords to Forever Autumn are around and there are a few riffs from The Spirit of Man. (I think)

Horsell, PLEASE suggest it to Jeff. ;D

A complete score book would be nice... I think it would be quite weighty though!

That was the problem with the book I had, there's so many different instruments involved in it, trying to get some bits to sound right was impossible.

I'm working on The Eve of the War and I'll post it up soon. To tab it out I'm playing the album at half-speed but with the same pitch. This makes for interesting listening..!
