The ends of Rhy. Figs 6a, b and c seems to be the exception. This song is full of little twists and turns; the extension of the second verse, the many different endings to the main riff. Still it retains a certain sense of structure to it. The solo is Paul, the vibrato and some of the bends are inimitable. 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
