Pinball Wizard by The Who >From Tommy, 1969 Written by Pete Townshend
Original transcription by: Marc Hirsh ============= revised by litgo@aol.com =============
[original note:] `e' stands for eighth notes, `s' for sixteenth, `q' for quarter, `h' for half, and, yes, even `w' for whole notes. The rapid strumming parts can be fairly improvised. The chords in the first 6 bars are strummed at a speed so that you can almost hear each individual note. A slide is indicated by a `/' for up and `\' for down. A period after a note value means dotted. The chord parts are best played with your index finger on the B string, middle on the G string (using pinky for pull-offs), and ring finger on the D string, with the thumb wrapping around and playing the low E string. Sounds hard, but gets easier with practice.
