Ok, what we have here is one seriously cool tune. I don't have a recording of the song, but I think I've seen the show so many times that the key is correct! Before you attempt to play this, turn your gain up a little and get a little distortion going! What can I say? This is one of my favourite intros for shows.
Notes: The song might be a little tricky for beginners as it involves some pretty quick chord transitions. Other than that, the song is fairly easy, involving a lot of arppegios. During the intro, let each note ring throughout the time the chord is held.
Recommended chord positions:
Bsus? x24422
C# x46664
F# 244322
B x24442

Well that just about wraps up the intro. That wasn't too difficult was it? Now onto the song played during the credits...
"Party of Five" Theme (The outro to the show)

Now onto the second segment of this exciting document... The song played during the credits (at the end)! Now this song is a little trickier to play than the first one at the beginning of the show. It involves fast fingerwork, which should improve all your fretwork techniques.
Notes: I have not finished transcribing this song. I have missed out the mid secftion where the piano comes in as it gets too confusing. I will post it in the OLGA (Online Guitar Archive) at Harmony Central when I figure it out, when I have time! Oh yeah, play the chords very openly, letting the notes ring throughout. So anyways... Enjoy the song...

C-ya! =)
