The structure of the tune is:
 
        Head1
        Ending1Head1
        Head1
        Ending2Head1
        Head2
        Ending1Head2
 
        ThatBeautifulTheme1
        Linkage
        Head2
        Ending1Head2
 
        SoloSection             (last time exit at the Ab#11...)
        ThatBeautifulTheme2     (...and take this to finish solo)
        Linkage
 
	Head2
        Ending1Head2
        Head1
        Ending2Head1
 
 
In terms of notation I've written the chordal phrases in TAB;
the top line being the high E string in a standard tuning scheme.
The solo section is given in terms of harmonies.  I'd like to
share ideas with others about voicings in the solo section.
 
Enjoy!...  and send me your Holdsworth charts,
	snippets, comments, etc.
