Damn good way to end an album. There are some points that need addressing however. The entire backing track for the first solo is back- wards. In fact, Rhythm fig. 7 is only Rhythm fig. 10 backwards. I¥ve chosen to write it as it sounds since I doubt anyone is looking to turn the tape over in mid-tune to play along. Also, and this might sound outlandish, the entire second solo is backwards. It¥s most easily recognised in the beginning. Then the solo sounds remarkably "forward" but turning the tape over reveals it ain¥t so. That is why the second solo is hard to get a grip on, the phrasing feels all wrong in places. 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 (clean electric, backwards) Eb|-----12----------12----------12------------------------------------| Bb|---------15----------15----------------10----------10----------10--|
