I have been guilty of putting out a bad version of this myself. It seems that the Stones influence was looming large for Ace around this time (probably since he recorded 2,000 man on Dynasty) and he pulled out the open-G (Keith Richards favourite) on two songs on this album. 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. 1 Db|---------------------------------------------------| Bb|--5h-6--------------------6p-5---------------------| Gb|--5-----------------------5------------------------| Db|--5h-7--------------------7p-5---------------------| Gb|--5-----5--5--5--5--5--5--5-----5--5--5--5--5--5---| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Bb|--0----------------------------5--5--5h6----5------| Gb|--0-------------------3/-5--0--5--5--5------5------| Db|--0-------------------3/-5--0--5--5--5h7----5------| Ab|--0----0--0--0--0--0--3/-5--0--5--5--5------5------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2a Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------| Gb|--10-----------9-----------7-----------5/-7--9-----| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--10-----------9-----------7-----------5/-7--9-----| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2b Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------| Gb|--10--------------9--------------7--------------5--| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--10--------------9--------------7--------------5--| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3a Eb|--15-----------14-----------12--------10/-12--14---| Bb|---------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3b Eb|--15-------------14-------------12-----------10----| Bb|---------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4 Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------| Gb|--5------5------0----------------------------------| Db|--5------5------0------3/-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5---| Ab|--5------5------0------3/-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5---| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| P.M. -
