Rock Bottom Tablature As transcribed by Matthew Jeffrey Solo notes curteous of R.B. Araki I've decided that there aren't enough UFO tabs out there, especially of this classic. This is a pretty difficult song to play, so don't expect to pick it up instantly. And if you do, great, you are a better guitarist than me. But unlike other tabs i have decided to include everything, vocals, main riff, chorus, bridge, SOLO, and i may add the bass at a later stage. If you think there should be any changes to this tab, or have any comments or just wanna chat about UFO, Scorpions or MSG e-mail me at Skat68@hotmail.com Good luck, and don't give up!
