The riff is so simple but so effective. The octave A's in Rhy. Figs 2 and 3 are actually played by two guitars (one octave each) but I thought it would be more efficient to list it like this. The solo work though, doesn't grab me. But Bob Kulick, who I believe played this, sure grabbed his whammy bar. Nothing like getting a new toy. Of course, extensive whammy-bar work like this is kind of hard to notate well so listen to the CD and take it from there. 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
