The rhythm work is simple, Paul just turns the main riff around for the second verse. (He really loves that Im-VI-VII sequence.) On Rhy. Fig 5 just follow the recording (the rhythm pattern is similar to the main riff). Bruce really shines here, the solo is fluid and contains some pretty cool tapping. The position shifts between the tapping and the muted sixteenths are a bitch. 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 (P.M. on 6th) E|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------5h7~------------------------------| E|--0--0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-------0--0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0--| < -
