"Two Friends And A Dog" by Rypdal & Tekro Artist : Rypdal & Tekro Song : Two Friends And A Dog Album : Rypdal & Tekro II Tuning : Normal Transcribed by : Toby Roberts Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) Uploaded : May 22, 1999 (Saturday) 17:15 Very special thanks goes to Toby Roberts who sent me his tab of this song. I used his and made some changes (transposed since "the 1/2 step lower tuning" was used, added rhythm section, etc.). Thanks a lot, Toby! :) This is a short song with basically 2 guitars. The intro sounds tricky but easy to play. Play the harmonics over the 5th fret on the G string. Then play the 15th fret (also G) on the high E string and use the whammy bar. Ronni seems to like this technique because he played it a lot at the guitar clinic in Tokyo several years ago. Be careful that the 2nd, 6th, and 10th notes in each line of Main Melody are NOT the same. The first line has A# while the second line has B notes. Enjoy!
