ROUNDABOUT Yes from the album ?Fragile? (1972) transcribed by Steve Garner ([email protected]) This is the correct way to play the intro to Roundabout. I?ve transcribed the middle and ending acoustic parts as well, but they?re basically the same as the intro with a couple of minor changes. IMPORTANT: All notes in * * are harmonics!!
