Porrohman by Big Country from the Album "The Crossing"

Tab by Colin Dawson; [email protected]

Stuart plays the intro with lots of delay; delay volume only slightly
lower
than the original signal. Use lots of repeats on the delay and use
chorus
to fill out the sound. You'll get a great effect and the delay does a
lot
of the work for you; it will play the notes in brackets for you
making the riff much easier to play. I've only included the bracketed
notes
in the first 4 bars (coz it was too much like hard work) but they
continue
as long as the riff does. Stuart uses various different pitch shift and
octaver settings at different parts of the intro - and during the e-bow
sections - sometimes it's an octave up sometimes a fifth or a seventh up
I
think. Listen to the live King Biscuit Flower Hour version and you'll
hear
this clearly.

I've added Bruce's parts at the end.

(Stuart)

Clean sound with lots of delay & chorus. Strum the first & third chords
- the C#m - slowly UP the way and let the delay create a cascade effect.

Alternative to E-bow;
If you don't have an E-bow or have one and can't use it (I remember
seeing
Mick Ronson trying to control one and failing miserably so it's nothing
to be ashamed of) try the following. Use a volume pedal to fade notes in

as required - this works quite well;
