Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Instant classic. Gene plays some cool counterpoint here using

the A minor pentatonic scale for the most part. I think it's interesting

that he changes octaves right in the middle of that interlude. The riff

that ends the song is so firmly imbedded in anyone who has ever listened

to this song it's ridiculous.

Key:

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

b = bend (whole step)

b^ = bend (1/2 step)

b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)

pb = pre-bend

r = release-bend

t = tap with righthand finger

h = hammer-on

p = pull-off

~ = Vibrato

* = Natural Harmonic

#(#) = Trill

** = Artificial Harmonic

x = Dead notes (no pitch)

P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)

(\) = Dive w\bar

(/) = Release w\bar

Tp = Tap w\plectrum
