"Mother Warned Me" by TNT Artist : TNT Song : Mother Warned Me Album : Realized Fantasies Tuning : A half a step lower Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) This song was originally played with the drop A tuning (E, B, G, D, "G", E) plus a half a step lower as Ronni normally does. Since it would be a pain to tune down the A string just for this song, I used "a half a step lower" tuning instead. As in other songs, machine gunning part is NOT transcribed. Sorry! There are so many overdubbed guiatr parts like glissandos at the end of each line in Intro, etc. Guitar solo sounds very tricky and I'm not sure I got it right. Enjoy!
