The good news is that the one riff I had the most problem with in the past (that only really shows its face right before the solo) I think I got. The chords in the beginning of Rhy. Fig 3 (that return in Rhy. Fig 4) I'm not sure about. The sound is unmistakeable in that the A is on top but the sound is weird so I'm not sure that the second chord is that Gadd9/A that I've put here. Sounds OK though. The main solo, as well as the fills, are Ace. Very trade- mark stuff for Ace around this time. The outro solo is pure Paul. Love that sense of melody and the wide vibrato. I'm guessing the chords in Rhy. Fig 8 were Paul's as well (even though he's not listed as a co-writer). It's very similar to what he would make very good use of on Dynasty. Note that, although I haven't bothered to notate it as such, Rhy. Fig 7a disappears right before the solo (as I said above) about halfway through the fourth time it's played. 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
