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
🎸

And I said, "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
