                   Window Paine
                    from Gish
              Transcribed by Adam Morris
   From: benmo@deakin.edu.au (BENJAMIN JAMES MORRIS)
  
  
   This is another song that wasn't at Nevada, 
   so here is my version.
  
   b=bend
   r-release bend
   h=hammer on
   p=pull off
   
   Standard tuning

  E-----x------x------x------x------x------x----------|
  B-----x------x------x------x------x------x----------|
  G-----x------x------x------x------x------x----------|

  * This is actually for bass, but it doesn't really matter.
    The x's are done by hitting all the strings with you palm
    above the pick-ups.

           This took me hours to figure out and type up so if 
           you are reading this now send me a message, even if 
           you have nothing to say, I just want to know that
           people are getting it and maybe using and enjoying 
           it.  I think most of what I have here is right.
           Once again, PLEASE tell me what you think (good and bad).
           Any corrections gladly welcomed.
