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 war
(/) = Release war
Tp = Tap wplectrum
