Joe Satriani - Ice guitar tab
Song: Ice 9
Artist: Joe Satriani
Album: Surfing With The Alien
Tabbed by: Liam Doorley
I got really bored so i thought i'd tab this song...
before you play this you need a wammey bar and a wah wah pedal. If you don't, well
i'd say you're sol cuz you won't be able to even touch this stuff. And make sure you
have a recording or else this will make no sense.
Key: / - slide b - bend r - release h - hammer on p - pull off
t - finger tap
Standard tuning e a d g b e

hmm...then joe does some crazy wammey stuff, i find it works
if you just pick an open g and push down on the bar, and then slide
to some other notes while still using the wammey.
Then repeat Rhy. Fig 1 2x
Rhy. Fig 2 2x
Rhy. Fig 3...but let the rythym guy do that so you can have fun doing this...
