"Automatic" by Vagabond Artist : Vagabond Song : Automatic Album : Vagabond Tuning : A half a step lower Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) If you're smart enough to write a program which does the reverse of the Wah pedal - make 'wah' sound back to normal, please e-mail me. I'll admire you til I die :) As usual, I couldn't get some notes which were played with Wah pedal. Other than that, this song sounds easy to play. Enjoy!
