Cryin tab by Joe Satriani
Guitar Tab
Author/Artist: Joe Satriani Title: Cryin' Album: The Extremist PLAYING NOTES/ SUGGESTIONS: This one's really emotional. So make sure you really work those bends to get the feeling. Embellish the bends using your own pre-bends, vibrato and harmonics. One good idea is the delayed vibrato - hold a sustained note for a while and then vibrate gently - used pretty often. In addition you can add pinch harmonics or feedback on top of notes that are sustained for a long time.

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
You can also fool around with the timing - sustain some notes a bit
longer than neccessary and play the next part a bit faster - this can
give it a cooler vibe. Just remember to stay on beat!
I've included the fills and add-ons he plays when some parts are
repeated. Feel free to leave some out and add others of your own.
You can give the song a touch of your own character by replacing the
faster pentatonic bits with your own licks.
A good idea for improvisation would be to play out the last 16 bars using
your own stuff. It's a E5|Em/D|Esus4/C|E7sus4/B| progression that you can
repeat many times as you want. Great place to apply all those blues licks
that drove your neighbours crazy!

guitar part. I'm not too sure about the names. Pretty much took what the
tab editor suggested)
