"Be That As It May" by Rypdal & Tekro Artist : Rypdal & Tekro Song : Be That As It May Album : Rypdal & Tekro II Tuning : Regular Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) This piece has good melodies and I love tones of guitars. Wah pedal is used all over the place, so I did not put any "|-> wah" because you can figure it out anyway. Be very careful with the tempo of each line. Some lines have notes that are played fast and some other lines have as many notes but played slowly. Enjoy!
