Keep Talking
Pink Floyd
The Division Bell

This is not an exact tab, call me lazy if you want but I just dont see
the point of copying down to the last ghost note. This tab is close
enough for me.

legends used are
= susatain
~ vibrato
/ slide up
\ slide down
2^(4)^2 pick second fret then bend to pitc corresponding fourth fret
then release back
(4)^2 the same as above, but prebend and then pick and release
p pulloff
h hammeron
natural or artificial harmonics at seventh fret
[7] pinch harmonic at seventh fret
dive means dive with your whammy or tremolo arm

It begins with theese notes played with an e-bow
