First of all i would like to say that this is a fucking A solo, the best on

the disc by my opinion

followed by home solo of course.

anyway, this solo was harder to tab than to figure out, im 100Û¿¿Û¿¿-Û¿¿HÛ¿¿gÛ¿¿Û¿¿èÛ¿¿ Ü¿¿>Ü¿¿XÜ¿¿jÜ¿¿‘Ü¿¿­Ü¿¿ÐÜ¿¿ìÜ¿¿ûÜ¿¿OÝ¿¿sÝ¿¿‘Ý¿¿«Ý¿¿ÄÝ¿¿×Ý¿¿åÝ¿¿+Þ¿¿FÞ¿¿|Þ¿¿ure i have

mistakes, and on some parts

i just wrote simliar in scale lines, but most of it is correct, and it will

give you all you need to

preform this solo, now i will write comments throughout the tab that will

TRY to explain you what to do

and i got some signs that you probably didn't see before, so here is the

legend:

* = pinched note

hb = hold bend

rb = release bend

/ = slide to note

h = hammer on

p = pull off

# = stirke this note alot of times real fast!

v = vibrate

full half half half

--9hb-*9-9(rb)p7-------7-9-9b-7----------------------------------------------------

-----------------9--/9-------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

ok, here what you need to do is bend the note hold it, then pinch it, then

release

it while pulling of to the next note.

in this part petrucci shows some of his good hammering technique, this is a

fast

run wih similar technique as in metropolis 1, only this one is shorter and

faster
