Eugenes Trick Bag tab by Steve Vai

This is a way to play the intro arpeggios that mimic the way it appears in the movie.
By using open strings you'll have a brief moment to shift hand position.
I was surprised this could be done as it is only with luck that there are notes that
fall on open strings in the middle of every arpeggio. There is only one spot, in the
fourth arpeggio, that there are any other options, which I included as a (7).

This is obviously a bit trickier than sweep patterns but it's worth it as it looks way cool.
I generally just alt pick it however there are plenty of ways to play it, Hybrid picking can
make it a little easier at points, especially the last arpeggio, You may even try finger picking.
