Three of a Perfet Pair (Solo Acoustic) by King Crimson
This is the solo acoustic version of 3oaPP from the "Eyes wide open" KC DVD. My acknowledgements go to Mark (markjx@******), which transcribed another version of the song, making 90% of the work. Without that I think I would never work it out. Actually, I tried to adapt Mark's transcription to the places Adrian put his fingers on the fretboard as seen in the DVD movie.
Enjoy!
