It comes close to mimicking the driving bass here. #2 You'll find the "lead-in solo" repeated in various parts of the song, (including the ending) with only slight variations on the few ending notes. (i.e. Sometimes a whammy down, sometimes a slide down the neck, etc.) #3 Barry Graul's solo incorporates a lot of slides into and out of particular starting and ending notes. I've tried to include all of the nuances of his technique, but if you're having trouble figuring it out at first... try ignoring all the slides (/'s and \'s). Also... Concerning " 15^17v15 " in the solo... the first note is picked then the string is bent upward one whole step and brought back down to the G note at the 15th. I wasn't sure if this would be clear to everyone. ================== GuitarRon@aol.com "The day is coming when men will look to the skies... Waiting for Ground Zero." - Livgren
