Arc Of Space tab by Bruce Dickinson

Arc Of Space - Bruce Dickinson

transcribed by Chris MacAlister

A wonderful little acoustic piece, of the 'Accident of Birth' album
debatably his best to date. Nice and easy for rythum guitar, but get's
a bit bitchy for the lead, especially if your playing acoustic as on
the CD. Rythum, remember the hammerons and pull-off used on all the Am's
and some of the verse dm's listen to the CD to see what I mean.
This all my own work so bits may be out. But it sounds fine when played
along with the CD.

I was very upset the first time I looked up Bruce songs
But probabally the easiest to figure out, bar the solo.
This wasn't too bad to work out either, but I'll try
and get some more. And anyone else out their who likes
Bruce please help. If you have any corrections or info
on the run at the end of the solo you can reach me at
