Standard tuning



Comments: I like these chords, specially when the "harmony" part comes in

by the second verse. There is also some very good solo guitar work here

(although the last G natural against the E major chord in Riff 3 is a little

annoying even with the gradual bend to the A). The high A's that fade in

(both bent and straight) give a slightly eerie feel to the track. And you

got to love Gene's castrato vocals during the jamming outro.





Key:

/    = slide up

\    = slide down

b    = bend (whole step)

b^   = bend (1/2 step)

b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)

pb   = pre-bend

r    = release-bend

t    = tap with righthand finger

h    = hammer-on

p    = pull-off

~    = Vibrato

*    = Natural Harmonic

#(#) = Trill

**   = Artificial Harmonic

x    = Dead notes (no pitch)

P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)

(\)  = Dive w\bar

(/)  = Release w\bar

Tp   = Tap w\plectrum
