Steve Perry can sing man...all you haters out there
better recognize.
Ok, this song is all piano until about 0:32 when the
guitar enters with a harmonic at about the
24th fret on the b string, open string. Right above the first
single-coil on my guitar. Then at :048 another
harmonic is heard at the 24th fret on the high e
string. Then roughly halfway through the intro-solo
another harmonic is heard 24th fret on the b string.
So while one guy is soloing the other plays the
harmonic during the solo.
p is palm muted
Not sure about the solo because I don't have 24 frets.
During the solo 3 guitars are playing. G2 plays the final
pattern and the previous variation. G1 plays the same 2
patterns from before. G3 solo's, and I guess G4 plays
those two notes at the end of the solo. If you have 24 frets
just let the 19 ring and play the 23 and 24. This is by no means
100% correct but it's worthy.
