TAB Key

--------

b - bend a semitone (1 fret)

YbZ - bend the note at fret Y to the same pitch

as the note found at fret Z

r - release previous bend

rZ - release previous bend to the same pitch as

the note found at fret Z

h - hammer on

p - pulloff

/ - slide up

\ - slide down

mb - microtone bend (see record for further details)

mr - microtone release

X - mute with palm of picking hand

U - upstroke

D - downstroke

~ - hold note

() - incidental note

ph - 'pinched' harmonic

rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord

(but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)

Playing Notes

-------------

Guitars 1 and 2 are electro-acoustic guitars, with echo added.

Guitars 3, 4, 5 and 6 are electric guitars.

Guitar 2 is very low is the mix (it disappears in verse 2) and strums

the chords which are used to form the arpeggios played by Guitar 1.

In Solo 1, the powerchord/riff section is split into 2 parts. This can

be played as a single part, but the passage sounds truncated. This is

because the E-note (D-string 2nd fret) is common to the chords and riff

- playing both parts on 1 guitar breaks the sustain of the chords.

The 'Pinched Harmonic' in the riff played by Guitar 4, is subtle. It

is produced by catching the string with the side of the thumb (on the

picking hand) whilst striking it with the plectrum.

In guitar solo 1, the powerchord backing implies the key is Gmajor.

Guitar 5 solos using pentatonic scales. Bars 1 to 4 uses the Eminor

pentatonic scale (relative minor of Gmajor), bar 5 - the Bminor

pentatonic, bar 6 - the Am pentatonic, bars 7 and 8 revert back to

the Em pentatonic scale. Positionally, bar 3 can be a bit difficult,

it is made easier if '5b7' is played with the second finger of the

fret hand. Bar 5 uses 'double-stops' (playing 2 notes on adjacent

strings as a diad pair). Bar 6 is a fast lick - which may take a

while to get the phrasing right.

In the Instrumental section, the part played by Guitar 6+ has been

created by layering a number of overdriven guitars, playing the same

figure. This gives a 'keyboard-like' sound - and allows notes to be

played by merely sliding to the frets, rather than picking them.

Guitar solo 2 is made up of simple lead lines using Bm pentatonic.
