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.
