Here we have three rhythm guitars again, and this time they use the old octave doubling and some nice weaving effects. Check out how the second (left) and third (middle, mixed very low) guitars intertwine in the beginning (the G5 in parenthesis illustrates this, it is played by the third guitar). Also, all three guitars play different versions Of the "main" riff, creating very large chord-structrues between them. The solo is a great one. The way the chords move it's almost as if Ace had this solo in his head and had to get it into this song. 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
