THE JEFF HEALEY BAND
Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff

See the Light was the 1988 debut album from the Toronto-based trio formed by blues guitarist Jeff Healey. The album spawned four radio singles, and sold 2 million copies worldwide. Even before the album was recorded, the band gained international exposure when a demo tape sent to producer Jimmy Iovine resulted in them being cast as the house band in the film Road House. After that project, Iovine helped to produce See the Light.

Tabbed here are the first twelve bars of the title song's Intro. Tabbing Jeff Healey's guitar parts can present some new challenges. His unorthodox playing style gave him options the average guitarist doesn't have. Sometimes it can result in slightly awkward fingerings when transcribing it for guitar played in the standard way. But it keeps things interesting!

I wasn't able to find a studio recording of the song online, but this live version is fairly close (in regard to those first twelve bars).
