This has some fairly standard rock rhythm work. As usual our two heroes divide the work with Paul playing most of the high-register stuff for once. There are quite a few instances when the two guitars clash since they aren't exactly locked in with each other. Still, this is a cool song. Great solo which has a more laid-back feel than most of Ace's stuff. 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
