I didn't think so at first but the timbre is such and a few of the chords are hard to play in standard tuning. Plus, if you watch the Animalize Live Uncensored video, you'll see Paul switching to his custom Hamer with a mirror front (Bruce disappears to the back of the stage) and that he doesn't finger much. Frankly, if it wasn't for the pre-chorus here, you could play the whole song using just your 1st finger. Perhaps THE beginner song. Great song, great fun to play too. Sink your teeth into this. 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
