BORN TO RUN - Bruce Springsteen
One of the masterpieces of the boss. It is rather difficult to play since the band
uses keyboards and if you want to make it sound like it you have to make adjustments
for the guitar. So I managed to get the sound with one rhythm guitar and one 'lead
guitar'. Both are in the standard tuning. Bruce plays staccato with the rhythm guitar
while muting the strings. For the lead guitar use tremolo and treble boosting. The bass
is tabbed too. I got that only through hearing and I recorded a demo mp3 to illustrate
the tab.
