D:|------12~~---|----------------12-10~~--|-----12*--14--|
A:|-------------|-----------------|-------|-12*----------|
E:|-------------|-----------------|-------|--------------|
I think most of this next part is right...
e:|--13--12--10--8~--|--13-12-10--8~--5-5-3--1--|------| |------|
B:|--15--13--10--8~--|--15-12-10--8~--6-6-5--3--5-3~~--| 5-6~~--|
G:|------------------|------------|-------------5-5~~--| 5-5----|
D:|------------------|------------|-------------|------| |------|
A:|------------------|------------|-------------|------| |------|
E:|------------------|------------|-------------|------| |------|
|
Now, play this again, but replace the last measure with
this_______|
Then, back to the first part with this...
e:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
B:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
G:|-----10--|--12--------14-12~~---10-9~~---|--------12~~-|--17~~-------|
D:|---12----|------12~~---|----------------12-10~~--------|-------------|
A:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|--15~~-----8-|
E:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|---------10--|
e:|----------
B:|----------
G:|---------- Then, some fast D blues scale soloing...
D:|----------
A:|--10------
E:|------10~~
...Which leads into...
e:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|
B:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|
G:|----------10--------------10-14b17r14--10~-|-9b10r9~--|
D:|--10--12---|--10-10-12-12--|---------------|----------|
A:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|
E:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|
e:|---10-13p10~-10-10----10--|----------------------|--------------|---|
B:|-13-------------10h13-10--|----------------------|--13~~--15~~--|---|
G:|-------------------------12-12p10----------------|--12~~--12----|-?-|
D:|--------------------------|------12p10-----------|--------------|-?-|
A:|--------------------------|-----------12p10------|--------------|---|
E:|--------------------------|----------------13~~--|--------------|---|
I know this next part is not right, but this is what I play, & I
think
it sounds kinda like it so...
e:|-------|-------------|--------|--11~---11~--|
B:|-------|-------------|--------|--11~---11~--|
G:|-------|-------------|--------|--------10~--|
D:|--10~--|-13-12-10-8~-|--8-10--|-------------|
A:|---8~--|-11-10--8-6~-|--6--8--|-------------|
E:|-------|-------------|--------|-------------|
e:|-------|----------|---------|--11~---11~--|
B:|-------|----------|--7*-5*--|--11~---11~--|
G:|-------|----------|--7*-5*--|--------10~--|
D:|--10~--|-5-8-8-10-|--7*-5*--|-------------|
A:|---8~--|-3-6-6--8-|---------|-------------|
E:|-------|----------|---------|-------------|
Then, this cool part...
e:|-------------------------|----------------------| |----------
B:|----------10------8------|----------------------| |----------
G:|--10-9-10---10-----10----|--10-9-10-7----9------| |-----9-10-
D:|-------------(10)---(10)-|-----------8----10----| |--10------____
A:|-------------------------|-----------(8)---(10)-| |---------- |
E:|-------------------------|----------------------| |---------- |
|
Keep playin this for a while, adding this variation when needed____|
When the distorted 2nd guitar comes in, it plays these fills...
e:|------12-12-13~--12-13-12h13-------| |----------------| This fill
B:|--/13-----------------------12-----| |----------------| leads into
G:|------------------------------13~--| |----------------| this next
D:|-----------------------------------| |---------7-5----| riff...>>
A:|-----------------------------------| |-------8--------|
E:|-----------------------------------| |--6-10-------8--|
e:|------------|-----------|-------|------------| This goes on like this...
B:|--11~--10~--|--11-10--8-6-10~~--|--8/10-10~--| Then, he hits that crazy
G:|--10~--10~--|--10-10-10-5--9~~--|--7/-9--9~--| climb riff thing too... D:|------------|-----------|-------|------------|
A:|------------|-----------|-------|------------|
E:|------------|-----------|-------|------------|
Now, it goes back to the beginning 8 measures (by now you probably
know
what goes where...) Here's the second slow solo...
e:|----------------------|---------------|------------------|------------|
B:|----------------------|---------------|------------------|------------|
G:|----------------10~~--|---12h14--12--10-------12h14-12--/9----7-------|
D:|-----10-12-12~~-------|-12-----12--12-|-10/14------------|-10---5----10
A:|--/12-----------------|---------------|------------------|------------|
E:|----------------------|---------------|------------------|------------|
e:|---------------|----------------|-----------|--------------|
B:|---------------|----------------|------13~--6/8\6~---------|
G:|----------10~-12-14b17r14--10~--|-12h14-----5/7\5~-5/7\5~--|
D:|-----10-12-----|----------------|-----------|------5/7\5~--|
A:|-12~-----------|----------------|-----------|--------------|
E:|---------------|----------------|-----------|--------------|
Now that one part comes back, but instead of playing the same
thing twice,
the second part of this one goes like this...
e:|--1-3-1-3-5-8-10-12-10~--8~--|--------------| Then it goes back to the
B:|--3-5-3-5-6-8-10-13-10~--8~--|--------------| chorus part, and you're
G:|--------|---------|----------|--10~---------| crazy if you think I'm
D:|--------|---------|----------|--10~---------| gonna try to tab out that
A:|--------|---------|----------|---8~-----7-8-| fast solo...yeah right...
E:|--------|---------|----------|--------8-----|
Then, there's this part...(this is how I play it...)
e:|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
B:|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
G:|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------3-----|
D:|---------2-3--|-----5p3-7p3--|---------2-3--|-----5p3-7p3--|
A:|-----0-3------|--------3---3-|-----0-3------|------------3-|
E:|--1~----------|--1~----------|--1~----------|--1~----------|
Play that twice, then there's this...(I think it's 3/3...)
e:|-------------|-------------------| It does this twice |--------|=|
B:|-----10-8----|-----10h11p10-8----| and then does it |--------|=|
G:|---10----9---|---10----------9---| twice up higher |--10~~--|=|
D:|--8-------10-|--8-------------10-| and ends on this>> |--10~~--|=|
A:|-------------|-------------------| |---8~~--|=|
E:|-------------|-------------------| |--------|=|

solo, please email me or post them-- -particle_man
