intro bass melody of platinum I/airborne
transcribed by pedro couto e santos [solo@esoterica.pt]
this does not include all of the trills and little flowerish pulloffs that
Oldfield puts into his playing, but as far as I'm concerned it's pretty accurate.
If you don't think so and have a correction, please e-mail me on solo@esoterica.pt
I dividided the solo into two parts, the first one's simpler, then it gets
a bit more complicated, but not much...
