This song is fast and the bass is all over the place. If you're serious about playing this part you've got some work to do. For the up-the-fingerboard slides from the 12th fret, aim roughly at the area around the 17th to 19th frets. That's where the slide tends to end up before having to come down for the next lick. 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 G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--7-7-7-5-5-5-3-3-3-2-2-2-0-0-----3-3-3-2-2-2-0-0-0-0---------| E|------------------------------3-3---------------------3-2-0---| Rhythm Fig. 2 G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------5-6-7------------------------------------------| E|--0---0---0--------------0---0---0-2-3-2-3-2-3-2--------------| End 1 G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------5-6-7---------/14\---5-5-----------------------| E|--0---0---0--------------0----------------5-5-----------------| End 2 G|------------------------------------12-12---12/---------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------5-6-7---------/14\-----------------------------| E|--0---0---0--------------0------------------------------------| End 3 G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------5-6-7-----5-------5-------5---3----------------| E|--0---0---0------------------5-------5------------------------| End 4 G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------5-6-7-----5-------5---7------------------------| E|--0---0---0------------------5-----------0--------------------| End 5 G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------5-6-7-----5-------5----------------------------| E|--0---0---0------------------5-------5---3--------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3a G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--3--3-3--3-3--0--2--0h2p0--3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--2----------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--0--0-0--0-0--3--0-2--0-1------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| < -
