That delay is instant classic. I have no good advice to give on how to achieve that effect but the delay is set to dotted eights. The rhythm stuff is very easy stuff, it's the solo that goes the distance here. I'm not quite sure about the end of the harmony part but otherwise it's all good. It's mostly repetitive stuff using the E minor pentatonic and E dorian scales, one of Ace's favourite moves. 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 Rhythm Fig. 1 Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--14------------------------------------------| Db|--14------14------------14\-------------------| Ab|--12------14------------14\-------------------| Eb|----------12------------12\-------------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--7-------------------------------------------| Db|--7------7------------7-----------------------| Ab|--5------7------------7-----------------------| Eb|---------5------------5-----------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2a (w/ delay) Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--9\------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------7/-----------------------| Ab|----------------------------------------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2b (w/ delay) Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--9\------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|----------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------3/5----------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2c (w/ delay) Eb|-----19\-----------------12\------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--19------------------12----------------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3 (w/ delay) Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--4------------------5--------7---------------| Db|--4------------------5--------7---------------| Ab|--2------------------3--------5---------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4 Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--9-------------------------------------------| Db|--9-------------------------------------------| Ab|--7-------------------------------------------| Eb|--0-------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 5 Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--9------------7--7-7---9-----------12--12-12-| Db|--9------------7--7-7---9-----------12--12-12-| Ab|--7------------5--5-5---7-----------10--10-10-| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|--9------------7--7-7---9--------5----7--7-7--| Db|--9------------7--7-7---9--------5----7--7-7--| Ab|--7------------5--5-5---7--------3----5--5-5--| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Solo Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|----------------------12----14-13----14--13------14-13-----12--11-| Db|----------------12-14-------------14--------14---------14---------| Ab|--11-12--14--14---------------------------------------------------| Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------| Light P.M. -
