Standard tuning
Comments: This has basically the same feel as most of Paul¥s fast 80¥s
numbers: it has some cool riffs and the chorus is mostly just a simple
chant. In Rhy. Fig 2 the downward slides are either the regular grab-a-
note-and-slide-it-down-for-effect rock clichÈ, or pick scrapes. If you
listen to the record it¥s pretty clear. The part that¥s repeated three
times in Rhy. Figs 1, 2a and 2b should ring throghout. The solo has a
little difficulty (apart from being fast). 2nd and 3rd system has a bend-
whammybar-release figure. What you do is press down on the whammy very
quickly, just a quick twitch really, and let it up as you¥re doing the
bend. Takes some getting used to but it sounds cool.
