Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Eric or Bruce played this one. Gene has never been the funky one and none of his signature moves are evident here (slides notwithstanding). 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. 1a G|-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------5-----------------------------------| E|--0--------0-0--0--0-7----0----12\---5---5--0-3------------| Rhythm Fig. 1b G|-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------5-----------------------------------| E|--0--------0-0--0--0-7----0------0-3-5---5--0-3------------| Rhythm Fig. 1c G|-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------5-----------------------------------| E|--0--------0-0--0--0-7----0------0---0-2-0-3-0-4-0---------| Rhythm Fig. 2a G|-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------| E|--0-----------------------------------------------12\------| Rhythm Fig. 2b G|-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------12h14\----| A|-----------------------------------------------------------| E|--0--------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3a G|-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------| E|--5-5--5--0-3-0-5-5--5--0-3-0--7-7--7--0-5-0-7-7--7--0-5-0-| < -
