Mike Oldfield
Tubular Bells II - Sentinel
The following is the intro of Mike Oldfield's 'TUBULAR BELLS 2'
(I think it is called 'sentinel'). It contains several tunes which
sometimes overlap - so hear the original to find out where the
parts are. Feel free to correct the faults...
II = play twice part in between
/S slide
B bend
H hammer on
p pull off
It begins with a piano that plays something like this
(which is only the melody line)

The following part is similar to the TB1 intro (theme of the
exorcist)originally played by piano and glockenspiel and it is repeated
endlessly
T = thumb 2 = second finger 3 = 3rd finger of right hand
