Dragon Ball Z Theme Tab

by Misc Cartoons


  I've never taken lessons and I know nothing about musical timing, so I'm not putting 
bars on this tab, but I'm sure you can figure it out, it's not too confusing.

  There is a little bit of my own play style in this that matches the song. For example, 
may slide when it's not necessary, etc. So if some of that is in here, my apologies.

Standard Tuning

x = Muted string
~ = Held note
\ = Slide down
/ = Slide up
h = Hammer on
b = Bend
r = Release
b( )= Bend to the pitch of the note in parentheses
(xNumber) = Play the note that many times

Enjoy!

  there are some random pinch harmonics thrown in on that note.
