This is the guitar intro to the song "Perpetual Change" on Yessongs.
I play this all the time, it's good fun.

Notation: b = bend up two frets, r = release the bend,
h = hammer on from previous note, p = pull-off from previous
note, s = slide from previous note

Asterisks mark the beat ... it's hard to convey the timing of Steve
Howe's phrasing, so best if you listen to the record once you've got
the fingering down.

Hard bits: the 15-12-10-12 etc bit on the 5th set of lines below.  The
jump from 7th position to 13th position on the 7th set of lines.
They're not really that hard, but need practice.


Little twiddly bit before the song begins:
(play the B string with your middle finger -- just like Steve!)
