The figures and riffs as such aren't difficult really, but there are a total of six (6!) guitars on this track. There's the main 12-string part on the right which handles the arpeggiation of the chords, another 12-string reinforcing the roots in octaves (I'm not sure whether or not this guitar plays in the verse so I haven't notated it there), an electric with a god-awful amount of chorus doubling the main 12-string, another electric playing fills and then two overdriven guitars (one in each channel) for the chorus. The main 12-string plays its part using a capo at the 5th fret. It is possible to play the part without one but it is kind of hard. I wouldn't recommend it. As usual I've indicated the chords (as best I could) when the acoustic arpeggiates but be aware that these chord names apply to the forms as played with the capo. The actual "sounding" names are different (a fourth higher). Since the clean electric with the obscene amount of chorus plays the same figures as the 12-string I've chosen not to indicate it, you hear it quite clearly on the track. Instead of notating every single riff by itself I've decided to make the Riffs last for an entire section (say, a verse). 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 Rhythm Fig. 1a (12-string acoustic capo 5th fret, let ring) Am Am7/G E|-------0----------0---------------------0--------------| B|----------1---------------------1----------------------| G|---------------2-------------2-------2-----------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|--0----------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------3------------------------------| D7/F# N.C.
