The really crazy stuff though, is the rhythm under the main solo. It's buried deep in the mix so my notation might not be absolutely accurate, but it's a killer riff. Look out for the weird chord (I think it qualifies as an A minor) in Rhy. Fig 7. 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
