the pillows Song: Happy Slave Album: Living Field By: KeitarO Happy Slave has been requested a lot and it's very famous for having one of the best and hardest solos, and that's true. The song is quite speedy, but it's not that hard to play. Good luck! PS: Note that like some of their songs, Sawao's guitar is much "hidden", it's really slight. None of the parts here referring to it are 100% sure of assurance. Well, I've given my best. FOREVER PILLOWS!

A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Well, from now on, as you see, there are some different sounds. What I could note was that both Sawao and Manabe recorded one (or more) back vocal and guitar together so it becomes more insane (and to complicate my job ¬¬). I believe one guitar keeps playing this one last line above until the end while another does some solos, playing whatever it wants. You can hear two Sawao vocals and around 3:44 a weird female voice. And to finish enters a piano, making it some more dramatic. <3 That's it, good luck with the solo. I don't think it's that hard. The difficult is to match the time and memorize it all. But I believe that in few time the rhythm becomes easier. any particular comment? andre-petro@hotmail.com 09/16/2005 --> Happy Birthday, the pillows!
