Rhy. Figs 2 and 3 here qualify as that I think. This guitar has so much effect on it (a flanger and a phaser) that it is hard to hear whether the "b" versions of each are played throughout or just towards the end of each riff. I think that the second guitar runs all along but only gets pushed forward in the mix towards the end. At the end of the song though, both "a" and "b" are clearly 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
