Trombone Tabs

1. The notes you should play are indicated by the appropriate letters.

2. No note lengths - just number of times played. You *should* be able

to figure out when and how long notes are played. They do this in guitar

tabs, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem.

3. Sharps are indicated by a "+", flats by a "-". Don't forget that

third valve slide.

4. Octaves - To indicate octaves, I use numbers. 1 refers to

the lowest octave of a note, 2 the next, 3 and so on. So, super low e

(7th position) would be e1.

5. A short set of notes surrounded by parentheses, followed by a "*" and

a number means to play that phrase that number of times.

6. A ~ before a note means to scoop into it. A ~ after a note means to slide out of it.

***Note from me: These were transposed from the trumpet tabs by olorin@ibm.net, these tabs should be fairly accurate. They are good enough to be able to play with the CD and sound good. Thanks to Joe (Revrenjoe9@aol.com) for sending me the Trumpet Tabs to transpose from. Also thanks to Vern Weygandt (vweygandt@mindspring.com) for added assistance.
