THE SUN, THE SEA

THE VERVE - FROM "A STORM IN HEAVEN"


transcribed by otto75yeah@hotmail.com

Oh yeah! this is one of my favourites! pretty easy to play, listen to the cd for 
the huge guitar-sound. guitarist mccabe said it was achieved by playing through 
his mesa boogie mk III and roland jazz chorus amp. well, sincerely i don't own 
them, so... but lot's of overdrive will help, as always with reverb and delay. 
and i think you can figure out the sax-solo yourself...
