Dragonaut Tab

The entire song, including the solo. Studio version, as appears on the original album. The main body of the song was transcribed and cross-checked in a few ways: referencing a tutorial video by Does It Doom? on YouTube (https://youtu.be/SM_3JvTR55k), watching live footage of Pike playing different variations of the song and then checking by ear to see what is played on the studio version. The three verses are all slightly different, and this is unmistakably audible in the studio version: hopefully this comprehensive tab proves useful, as other tabs/tutorials I have seen do not mention this. The solo was transcribed from a high-quality cover on YouTube (https://youtu.be/-aJUV2vRMeY) and checked against the original song by ear. In terms of actually playing the song, you might find it easier to play 8 on the C string (with your pinky) than 3 on the F string (which Pike plays) in the intro.Was this info helpful?
