E-(2)~~~~~-------| Now for my favorite, the solo, pretty hard to fiqure out, I read this one riff in a guitar mag, you know the over the top tapping: The tapped riff is really 7th chords arppegiated. (16th notes) I show the technique for one chord and where the next chords are: A7(12th) A7(12th)--|--B7(14)---|--B7(14)--|--C7(15)--|-D7(17)--| ------------------------------------| -14------14--------14------14-------| -----12-------12-------12------12---| ---14------14--------14------14-----| -------12--------12------12-------12| ------------------------------------| * 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 Play the 14's with right hand and 12's with left over the top of the neck with the left hand pinky lying across and muting all the strings to cut out noise. * fingering Then he changes it with the same ideas: E7 (play three times) --------------------17-------------| -21--17--21--17--21----19--21--17--| -------19------19----------------19| ---21------21------21--------21----| -----------------------------------| -----------------------------------| The solo I'll post later after I figure it out!!!
