D--5-----------3-------------0-------------------3-3-/10-10-10--5---3--- 2nd solo, or something like one (with wah) i'm not going to write all of this out, heres the notes its simple just listen E------------------------------------------------------------------------------ B-----------------------3------3333333333-------scratch slide------------- G---22222222222-------------------------------------------------0-0-0-0- D---------------------------------------------------------------------3-3-3-3 A------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------------------------------------------ end it with a bend on th d string Just through in some bends here and there, and use the wah sparingly (exept at the end of it) and you'll get it after the bended 5th fret, go straight to this: D--5--3-3-3-3-3---- A--5--3-3-3-3-3---- D--5--3-3-3-3-3---- then this: E--------- B---3xx-- G---2xx-- x5 D---0xx-- A---0xx-- D---0xx-- then there is a little rythem stutter or something and it goes into this: E--------- B--------- G--------- play this some watch for the change to same thing 4th fret D--xx0--- A--xx0--- D--xx0--- then it bounces back and forth a little, just listen for the number of times and correct rythm...writing tabs takes a long time! after that (with wah) do this: E----------------------------1-1--------------------------------------- B--3-3-----1-1-----3-3-------------3-3------1-1----3-3------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------2-2--- then back to 5th fret power chord with the muting for a sec(listen for rythem) and then into this: D--0--3--0xxxxx0-0--3-3 A--0--3--0xxxxx0-0--3-3 play 4 times D--0--3--0xxxxx0-0--3-3 then this cool little riff (with harmonics) E------------------------------------------------ B--3-------------1-----3-------------------1--- G-----------0------------------------0---------- play 5 times D------3---------------------3-3---------------- A------------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------------- then this(still with harmonics) E----------------------- B-----------------1---- G--0--------0--------- D------33------------3 A----------------------- D---------------------- end with this: D--5--3----10--12--0 A--5--3----10--12--0 D--5--3----10--12--0 there it is, for me anyway. this is my first tab.anyway let me know what i did wrong...email is blue__shaman@hotmail.com...thanks -brian
