play this part 4 times - joe uses some tremelo effect on a very clean tone with chorus and some slap back delay. (TIMING NOT INDICATED)   VERSE |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |------------------------------------| |-3-5-5-5p3p0-3-5-5-5-3--------------| |------------------------------------| |-----------------------0--0-0--0----|   |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-3-5-5-5p3p0-----------------------| |-------------5-3-[5]---------------| |----------------------0--0-0--0----|   |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-3-5-5-5-3-0-5-3-5-3--------------| |----------------------------------| |---------------------0--0-0--0----|   |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-3-5-5-5p3p0-0--------------------| |---------------5-3h5--------------| |---------------------0--0-0--0----|       Ok this part is really cool, Joe uses like stereo pan and delay with staccato rhythm to Give it that 'oriental' feeling. PLAY WITH ATTITUDE and Even if u don't have delay it will u can still make it sound Pretty cool.  (Tip: pick the low e notes if u don't have delay - listen to song)   INTERLUDE                                                  |--------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------| |-2h3-2h3-2h3-0-0h2-0h2-0h2------------------------| |---------------------------4-------0h2-2-3S5-3----| |-----------------------------0-1-4----------------| |--------------------------------------------------|   |--------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------| |-2h3-2h3-2h3-0-0h2--0h2-0h2-----------------------------| |----------------------------4--------0h2-2-3S5-5S7-7----| |------------------------------0-1--4--------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------|   This is kind of the interlude to the chorus below,   CHORUS                         ~~                     ~~    ~~ |-18b20-18-17-15-17-15---------------------15-15----------| |----------------------15------------15-18-------18p15----| |------------------------------17-17----------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------|                     ~~ |-18b20-18-17-15-17----| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------|   Ok that's the lead part, harmonized an octave above! With synthesizer   |-----------------------| |-----------------------| |-4h5-4h5-4-2S4-2p0-----| |-----------------------| |-----------------------| |-----------------------|   |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-5-5-5S7-4--------0----------| |-----------0h3h5----5p3p0----| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------|   Ok the above part is played a few times with slight variations at The same time as "the chorus", I'm pretty sure Joe saturates The tone with some wah.   FILL                   ~~ |-16-14-16-14-16-17----| |----------------------| |----------------------| <--this fill is played in the next part. |----------------------| |----------------------| |----------------------|   play this with a whammy bar to get the notes... listen and you will hear it   ok then its just a simple solo and some repetition of the above. I really think satch has slowed down since the extremist (sigh) oh well at least it makes it easier for us guys to work it out right? enjoy.   email comments: doodie_au@yahoo.com
