Higher - Jason Becker
Tab by Sean Kasun (seank@u.arizona.edu)

This is off his newest album, Perspective. It's a great album, and
this song has no guitar in it whatsoever. It's all acapello, but I figured
since we all play guitar, I could tab it out anyways :)

According to the liner notes, the first half was written on the guitar,
however I personally think the second half sounds more guitar oriented..
so I have only tabbed out the second half.

Play this VERY slowly.

First the guy starts arpegiating the followng. He goes through several
chords, but I haven't taken the time to figure them all out.

After doing that a second time, the main vocal starts in:

Hope you enjoyed this. I haven't seen any other Becker tabs on OLGA,
but if you know one of his songs, please take the time to write it
out for the rest of us. Thank you. :)
