Standard tuning
Comments: This has basically the same feel as most of Pauls fast 80s
numbers: it has some cool riffs and the chorus is mostly just a simple
chant. In Rhy. Fig 2 the downward slides are either the regular grab-a-
note-and-slide-it-down-for-effect rock clich, or pick scrapes. If you
listen to the record its pretty clear. The part thats repeated three
times in Rhy. Figs 1, 2a and 2b should ring throghout. The solo has a
little difficulty (apart from being fast). 2nd and 3rd system has a bend-
whammybar-release figure. What you do is press down on the whammy very
quickly, just a quick twitch really, and let it up as youre doing the
bend. Takes some getting used to but it sounds cool.
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
