Hotline Bling - Drake
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Martijnfru
Key: F
Tuning: Standard
Info:
This is the melody of the song. You may notice sometimes the notes don't exactly match with Drake's voice.
This is because the tones are sometimes a bit off with what the guitar can reach. Anyway, playing it with
the guitar gives it a bluesy feel, which is nice.
With this melody in mind, the song is kinda cool to improvise to.
The scale of the tab written here is mostly the first form to make it easier to understand the notes.
Have fun!
You used to call me on my, you used to, you used to

So these patterns keep repeating themselves throughout the song. There is a little bridge
thing going on at the end. I say a perfect part to improvise! ;)

What's here is okay but not perfect, but leaving out the bridge and some of the other little flourishes seems odd.
