Start of Something Beautiful Tabs & Lyrics by Porcupine Tree
Start of Something Beautiful
guitar tabs lyrics
This is the live version from the Arriving Somewhere... dvd, the studio version is
basically the same
but with a few changes that shouldn't be a problem for you guys to figure out :)
I know Porcupine Tree plays most in Drop D tuning but this one is on standard
(analyzed Steven's position on the dvd)
The intro is done with a reaally cool tone that I have no idea how Steven gets, and
volume swells...
lots of sustain and vibrato too.

And then the solo is repeated but this time on the overdriven channel.
