The easy way to get past that is to tune to the album. Not much happens on this track. The riff stays pretty much the same throughout. I'm not sure whether Rhy. Fig 2b, which is definitely there during the intro, is also played during the chorus or if both guitars play the same thing there. When the harmony guitars turn up towards the end I'm not 100% but I think that the second harmony (starting on the 19th fret) is doubled an octave down (which would then be the same as the first harmony). 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
