Theme Of Laura tab by Akira Yamaoka
Guitar tabs
Track: Theme Of Laura Composer: Akira Yamaoka Album: Silent Hill V.2 Soundtrack Tabbed by: Nick Brooker-Jones This is my first tab and an easy one; the theme to the intro video of the computer game Silent Hill 2. It is best to play most of this song clean with enough reverb to make it sound a slightly haunting. A vibrato pedal is a good accessory for this song but not necessary if you want to just play the main riffs. I have included the other instrument parts for those that want to add in the extra bits. / = Slide up \ = Slide down v = Vibrato PM = Palm Mute h = Hammer On p = Pull Off

but I have tabbed it without

Thanks to Matt Nikic whose own tabbing efforts provided me with two chords
and two notes that had eluded me. His contribution is indicated as the
chord or note directly below the * marks.
