TAB Key

b - bend a semitone (1 fret)

YbZ - bend the note at fret Y to the same pitch as the note found at fret Z

mb - microtone bend (see record for further details)

r - release previous bend

h - hammer on

/ - slide up

\ - slide down

[xT] - play indicated note 'T' times

Notes

Mute all chords throughout.

If you aren't used to using all the fingers on your fretting hand, then it may take time to get The Riff sounding fluent. The Riff also appears in the choruses, but isn't played the same every time, (the differences aren't major).

Verse 2 uses fast, muted picking. The timing isn't rigid - listen to the record to get the rhythm exactly right.

In the guitar solos make sure the picking on the 'soloing' guitars is kept even. Solos 1 and 2 are quite similar. The mb's in bars 4 and 8 of Solo 1 (and bar 4 of Solo 2) are almost a semitone.

Solo 3 differs from the format of previous two solos. It also uses an extra guitar (Guitar3) to play the same notes as Guitar1, but an octave lower.
