...strong Myst be so determined and push myself on -> SOLO
The Solo... not tabbed up, has an overdubbed harmony in the middle and
at the end. The rhythm progression is a bit strange too. Basically it
is:
G5 D5 E5 C5 G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 D5 E5 C5 G5 D5 C5
A5 F5 D5 \A5 F5 D/F# A5 F5 D5 A5 F5 D/F# / / / / / /
Where D/F# is 2x023x You finish the solo with a whole lot of them.
Then comes the verse, prechorus and chorus, then the
chorus again, then the intro riff played faster. Then the final harmony:

Guitar 2 plays the above five frets, 1 string down... be careful swapping
from the b-g string!

All with a doublet feel. This is guitar 1's part. 2+3 are like this
either 5 frets down or whatever... in harmony!
Sorry, but I don't have time to tab up the solo. Please don't mail me
just to ask for the solo... one day it'll happen.
So this is from the Powerslave/Somewhere in Time tab book. It's from
Hal Leonard Guitar. Transcribed by Wolf Marshall.
ISBN 0-88188-777-3 the Hal Leonard number is HL00693096
Take that number to the book store, and they should be able to tell you
if it is still in print and order you a copy. I got mine from a
second hand music store... that might be a good place to look. No, I don't
want to sell mine. There is a bass version of this book, and I have seen
a new Somewhere in Time book by itself. Both books have the cool Stranger
in a Strange land picture on the cover.
See ya.
