Vai Steve - Bangkok

Bangkok - Steve Vai
 


 Important things to remember in this tune are:

 o Keep an ear out for the time... it's easy to get lost!
 o Notice the subtle changes in swing and feel that happen throughoutthis
   ditty.
 o The vast majority of this was worked out on an out of tune acoustic...
