I BELIEVE
As recorded by Quo Vadis
(From the 2000 Album DAY INTO NIGHT)
Words and Music by Arie Itman
Arranged by Quo Vadis
Transcribed by Eitan “Skrud” Levi (drskrud@hotmail.com)
As far as Quo Vadis songs go, this is an easier one to play. I’m 100AÛ¿¿]Û¿¿mÛ¿¿Û¿¿§Û¿¿ÁÛ¿¿(Ü¿¿[Ü¿¿vÜ¿¿Ü¿¿¯Ü¿¿ËÜ¿¿îÜ¿¿
Ý¿¿Ý¿¿mÝ¿¿Ý¿¿¯Ý¿¿ÉÝ¿¿âÝ¿¿õÝ¿¿Þ¿¿?Þ¿¿ZÞ¿¿Þ¿¿ure that these tabs are right since it was taught to me by the songwriter itself. (It helps when your guitar teacher is in Quo Vadis eh?). Listen to the song to get the timing right, some notes fall on weird beats (which is the Quo Vadis norm). These tabs were exported from the PowerTab version. I’ll try to get it up on some other sites as well. If you have any questions/comments just e-mail me at drskrud@hotmail.com.
Note: There are lots of ghost notes everywhere in this tab. In the PowerTab version you can clearly see that they’re tied notes but it can get confusing. For the sake of simplicity, ignore them in this text tab.

Note: On the album version of this riff Gtr II was recorded over Gtr I
simply to accent the note. When playing live, both guitars play the Gtr I track.
