Angel Face
Recorded by The Glitter Band
Requested by Trev
Gerry Shephard played the 'riff' over the first and second lines of each verse. He
played slide guitar on this track and probably had his guitar tuned to open 'A'. However I
have also heard the song played by The Glitter Band in 'B'.
I suggest using 'power chords' throughout with the guitar tuned to standard tuning.
