Mistral Wind Guitar Tablature
Artist: Heart
Song: Mistral Wind
Album: Dog and Butterfly

< > = harmonics, v = vibrato…and lots of it!
To play along with the album tune all the strings slightly flat. 
Chords: F: 133211 Variation of F: 133200
             Am2: x02200 Variation of Am2: x02000  (Basically you’re opening and closing the top two or three strings)
I got the idea on how to play this song from the video: “Starlicks: Nancy Wilson instructional video”. BUT she plays
It differently on that than she does on the original song. So I took that and fit it to what I heard on the record.
