TEST DRIVE - John Powell (Composer - How to Train Your Dragon Soundtrack)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Eggingarde
 
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
 
Note: This is a complicated song for a single guitar tab. This is my first tab and the
counting & timing is complicated. I suggest you listen to the song to get it down properly.
I have split the song into parts to help with repeats later in the song.
 
*Note: There is no capo for the first part of the song, but at the key change (see:
breakdown) I put a capo on the 2nd fret.)

This is so amazing! My daughter and I are learning to play, and it sounds great! (She's doing much better than me!!!!)
One small fix, in the early intro when playing on the B-string, instead of the 3-0-3 i play 3-x-3 where x is the 2nd fret on the G-string, sounds better in my ears :D
Very nice 👍
