Aerosmith "Sweet Emotion"          
-------------------------
This file is a comglomeration of the various posts made by various people,
along with my own corrections and the addition of timing.  Below the tab
there is time notation in sixteenth notes (1 e + a, etc).  If you know what
this means, then it may help you; if you don't understand the timing notation,
just listen to the CD and follow the tab.  The bass intro is from a recent
interview with Aerosmith's Bassist in Guitar World magazine.  The guitar part
is a decent approximation.  Everything else in this song is pretty
straightforward; a little work should do it.
For the break between the verse (Fig C), the []3 means play three times.
The only version I have of this tune is the one from Greatist Hits, so I
don't have any solos to transcribe; when I hear it on the radio or from
someone's Pandora's Box, there is more than what's here.  If anyone has this,
please post.  If I've made errors, please download this file, update it, and
resubmit it to the archives.
