Guitar Tab

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Much like on Spit I've decided to not notate a part here. During
these parts the guitars are just playing a B5 chord in different syncopations.
So, where it says "See comments" play B5 until it feels good. And, all G?s
Played on the 6th string have a slight bend to them. I like this solo, some
cool b5?s, some fast pentatonic riffing, a quote from the classical somposer Grieg,
and a few trills to finish things off. Not your standard Bruce Kulick
solo.


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
