Playing notes

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

On the original the guitar is tuned a 1/2 step down but as this is unaccompanied this is

not necessary

you are playing along with the record. Effects used are a short delay, reverb, wah and

distortion. I have

on bends, tremolo arm use, slides and taps but all other notes are either hammer ons or

pull offs. I have split the tab into sections in order to explain each part in detail.

t = tap note with right hand

b = bend

/ = slide up

= slide down

Section 1 (0:00-0:20)

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

This section starts with a pinch harmonic on the bent b string. This note is then gradually

lowered with

tremolo bar and and allowed to feedback. The fast section is played with hammer ons and

pull offs. I

transcribed this with tapping but it resulted in some very large and uncomfortable

stretches. The wah is being flexed constantly during this section. The final bend is

played with heavy finger vibrato as well as tremolo vibrato.

Section 2 (0:21-0:29)

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

The fast section is played in a similar manner as section 1 but this time using the G string

as well. The

melody at the end is played using a technique called "wapping". Point the tremolo bar

away from the kneck

hit it with the pick hand as you hammer out the notes with the fret hand.

Section 3 (0:30-0:53)

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

During the tapping section the wah is flexed in such a way that it emphasises the highest

pitch notes. The

should be in the treble position when the high notes are tapped to bring out a descending

melody. The

should drop gradually are you reach the end of the piece. The final phrase is played using

the tremolo arm. The 10th fret B string is lowered 3 times in order to sound the other 3

notes. So in other words the 4 notes

all played on the 10th fret B string. When the arm is depressed enough to sound the note

on the 3rd fret B string pick the 7th fret on the D string. This should sound the note on

the 2nd fret D string. Release the bar allowing the 7th fret D string to sound. The final

D5 chord is strummed with tremolo arm vibrato and is then slid up to an indefinite point.
