This is good stuff. Main riff harmonized in thirds, cool little breaks that let the bass play around a bit, and a sinister change to the minor during the little bridge. Also, this is, I think, the only song where all four members are listed as co-writers. 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 Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-----------6--6h7~--6~------------6--6h7-7-------------------| Db|------6h7--------------------6h7-----------6h7-7-------------| Ab|--7----------------------7-----------------------6h7---------| Eb|--0----------------------0-----------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 1b Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|------------9--9h11~--9~-------------9--9h11-11--------------| Db|------9h11----------------------9h11------------9h11-11------| Ab|-11------------------------11---------------------------9h11-| Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2a Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7-----------------7---------------5--6---------------------| Eb|--0---------------------5---7---8----------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2b Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7-----------------7---6---5--------------------------------| Eb|--0-----------------------------7---5--3---------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3a Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|----------------12-12--x-12------------12\-------------------| Gb|----------------11-11--x-11------------11\-------------------| Db|----------------12-12--x-12------------12\-------------------| Ab|--11---------------------------------------------------------| Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3b Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------12------------12\-------------------| Gb|-------------------------11------------11\-------------------| Db|-------------------------12------------12\-------------------| Ab|--11---------------------------------------------------------| Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4a Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|----9----7----11----9--7-------------------------------------| Db|--9----9----9-----9------9-----------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------10----------------10\-------------| Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4b Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-----13-----11-----14-----13--11-9---------------------------| Db|-----------------------------------12------------------------| Ab|--11-----11-----11-----11------------------------------------| Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 5a Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--------2-------------------------------------------------| Eb|----------------3-----0--------------------------------------| < -
