Guitar Tab

So, this is my first tab and I did it completely by ear and just guessing
how the chords were based on old live videos on Youtube and a general
understanding of how Ken usually plays chords.

   It's difficult to know the exact notes here, but just figure
   that it's going to be those 3 notes just randomly played in a
   way that fits the beat. The notes are, most likely, actually
   played on a keyboard like the intro to "Stuck on You."

Suggested effects/amps for this song:
MXR Dyna Comp (set about half way for the cleaner parts like the intro and solo)
MXR Distortion+ (for the distortion during solo #2)
DOD Gonkulator or Moog Ring Mod Minifooger (for the ring effect during the solos)
Marshall JMP-1 Preamp (or probably any Marshall Head/Emultor for the drive)
Loud as all hell amp with a lot of headroom like a Twin Reverb

Ken also uses a Mesa Boogie Power amp, but I don't know anything about it.


Key:
\ = slide down
/ = slide up
* = palm mute
