Anybody Listening?

by

Queensryche

This is a great song from one of my favorite bands. I have taken the

song without permission from the songbook for Empire. I am doing

this from memory and I don't remember the lyrics or the lead.

Hope this is useful to someone. I also didn't try to annotate the rhythm.

You'll have to listen to the song for that.

Here is the lead for the song Anybody Listening? by Queensryche.

I don't have this part memorized (which is why I didn't include it before)

so I am taking this right from the book. I hope you can use this.

intro: (listen to the song for the exact timing.)

G------7------------------7----------------\-----------------------------------|

D--------------------------------------------\---------------------------------|

A------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

This next part comes in after the line: "I've just begun to see the light."

the first time and after "...and there's not much I can do..." the second

time.

(volume swell) (tremolo bar dive)

(to coda second time after "...alone")

That is all of the lead guitar parts for the song. I hope that this is useful

and understandable.

If you want other Queensryche songs, I also have the music for:

Another Rainy Night (Without You)

Best I Can

Empire

Jet City Woman

One And Only

Resistance

Silent Lucidity

Revolution Calling

I Don't Believe In Love

They are all from tab books or magazines and not my own interpretations.
