    Tab for Hawks lead guitar?  Maybe for some of Huw's
bits it makes sense, though I find that I could do perfectly
decent Brockoid guitar by just leaning on the wah pedal
and noodling merrily, being sure to pause every once in a
while and give one note a good wah workout :)

    Duplicating a given recorded Lemmy bass line, like
with his meandering solos in Space Ritual, might take some
work but getting into a "Lemmy groove" is not too bad.
Just pretend the bass is a lead guitar, solo like a bastard,
drop into the riff when needed, and throw in some power
chords every so often :)
    Alan Davey's parts are, not surprisingly, similar,
though I fingd given riffs sometimes a bit harder to pick
out because the production seems to bury his bass at times.
I can hear it doing something clever, but I'm not sure what.
    Fake it :)

    But seriously, I recall seeing some basic HW tabs posted
in the past at various points.  I don't think they were lead
parts though.  There might have been some bass tabs.  I
don't remember if I saved them, but at the moment it doesn't
matter since my personal machine is in for repairs and I've
not got access to most of my files :/

    You could always whack a few fingers off an overly fancy
guitarist :)  I never had the fingering speed to have a
problem in _that_ direction :)

Cheers,
Carl
