Far Out

From: * (John Howell)


This is a (rough) transcription of 
the cool synth part, not
the guitar part of this song, that 
has more than a passing
resemblance to Syd Barrett's style. 
The main melody is done
on the synth, so if you're playing 
solo this sounds a lot

better than the guitar part. Also 
you need loads of really
silly effects to do it well - or 
better still a guitar synth;
sadly I have neither. This 
transcription was considerably
aided by the sleeve insert on the 
album, which not only gives
the lyrics but the chords as well. 
Nice one.
I haven't done the guitar part at 
the start either; trying to
simulate a bongo roll a la Mission 
Impossible is a bit tricky
on one guitar.

Anyway, the song's mainly based 
around a C Eb progression.
The chorus is made up of 2 bars, an 
Ab Bb prog and an F prog
(see the lyric section for the order
 they come in), and
there's a little bridge part of Eb D
 after the first chorus.
