LAGUNA SUNRISE (Black Sabbath)

-- comp. Black Sabbath [Tony Iommi!?], 1972 (from _Vol._4_) -- transcribed/tabbed for two guitars: tcg, '81, '89, '94 -- 4/4 // keys: D, F/Dm, C // Andante (pretty slow) -- Sequence: A1-A2-B-A1-A1-A3 (note repeat signs & textual notes) [may wanna throw out an "A" or two--unless you got a string orchestra!--like Sabbath--to keep "building" interest....] -- chords & notes easy enough, but timing "hellacious," so had to resort to the dreaded w-h-q-e-s-t shorthand: w = whole note; h = half; q = quarter; e = eighth; s = sixteenth q. = dotted quarter (etc.); [q] = quarter rest (etc.) q-q = tied quarters (also, ===== another aid to duration) q3 q3 q3 = quarter triplets (etc.)

A:: GUIT 1 [first note an upbeat sixteenth: 1-&-2-duh-duh-duh-duh-dah] || [e.] s s s s s h [q-e.] s s s s s s s s s | GUIT 2 | || D [up&down "drag" strum] | e q e e---e e e e q e e-----e e e e

FINAL NOTE: This is as close to the recording as I could get ten years or so ago--but I recall that, when playing it with a guitar buddy, the Asus4 & G5 chords seemed to clash a bit with the "lead" melody, since the pitch ranges are so damn close. So I substituted the following voicings at one point, and it worked out pretty well:
