This is an original work of the author.

[approx. 20 pages]

Well, this took me two years to learn and more than a month

to tab. It's not right in all places and there are some

parts just impossible to tab (for me at least), but this is

as complete as you're going to find, I think. I had some

major help from other people (friends, family, etc.) and

watching live performances in slow motion to get down

certain techniques sure helped. This gets real

complicated, so look at the key below before you continue

on to the rest of the tab. I hope this will be useful to

at least one person. If so, it was worth the trouble.

Good Luck!!!!

KEY

= Artificial harmonic - if preceded by a number, that

number is fretted and the number inside the brackets

is tapped with the pick hand, otherwise it is an

artificial hrmonic played by picking the note and almost

simultaneously hitting it with some part of your thumb

(most people use the tip of their thumb, I use the

knuckle).

(#) = Number inside is tapped with pick hand

^^^ = Vibrato

/\ = Slide

___ = underscore after a bend indicates approximate length

of time to hold the bend

bq = bend up a quarter step

bh = bend up a half step

bf = bend up a full step

bt = bend up two steps

bT = bend up one and a half steps - Three half steps

rb = release bend

pb = pre bend - the bend has been applied prior to

striking the note

pm = palm mute

p = pull-off

h = hammer-on

p.h.= pick hand

f.h.=fret hand

General Notes

You can figure out much of the tapping stuff by listening

to the record if you know what tapping sounds like to begin

with. You can also watch the video to find out where his

hands are (beware the solo is slightly different in the

video as compared to the record [this is because the

recording for the concert was made on two separate nights

and the video and record are edited differently} but not

enough to make a huge difference).

Sometimes the stretch for the tapping parts is pretty big.

You can get around this by transposing the notes to a lower

string, and, thus, frets that are closer together.

He holds the pick two different ways (watch to see when).

The first is the classical index finger-thumb. The other

is the middle finger-thumb leaving his index finger

sticking out to tap.

He seems to switch from tapping to picking and back very

quickly. Yes, it's because he's good, but what he does

quite often is move the pick into his hand, wedging it

between the second knuckle of the middle finger and the

place on the palm where the finger joins it. This way, he

doesn't have to waste time going up to his mouth or even to

a mic stand if he doesn't want to.

One other thing before we start. This is just a rough

approximation. He plays some parts so damned fast it's

hard to distinguish between notes sometimes. I hope

nothing in here is too inconsistent. Also, you must listen

to the actual recording to hear what I've written down.

For this part, you tap the two upper strings w/your pick

hand index finger and the lower string w/your pick hand

thumb, kind of like a bass guitar. The muting is

accomplished with your fret hand. Practice to the album

and you'll get the feel of it.

For the tapping part here, I think he frets the lowest fret

(ex 9) w/his index finger of fret hand, taps the highest

note (ex 18) w/his index finger of pick hand, and hammers

on middle note (ex 12) w/middle finger of fret hand.

For the following section, all tapped harmonics, , are

tapped on the indicated frets with the p.h. while the

previous note is fretted by the f.h. Ex: after this riff

below, your f.h. is on the seventh frets of the E and A and

all tapped harmonics are relative to this seventh fret,

until the pull of to 0 and hammer on to 5, then all tapped

harmonics are relative to the fifth fret, and so on. The

not in parenthesis symbolizes that the note is already

fretted and sounding. (To save room, I've only included

the necessary strings.)

For the next part, this is all two handed tapping with some

slides and continues until more tapped harmonics that will

be noted.

You play the first little riff below 26 times gradually

speeding up at first, then slowing down until the second

riff and then the tapped harmonics mentioned before.

Now break out the delay pedal and fool around with it until

you get the effect he has on the record (it's about half a

second). You need a good trem system for this part, too.

Now, dive down with the bar somewhere in the neighborhood

of three-three and a half steps, and while down there, grab

the bottom strings with your thumb and pull and release

them while muting with your p.h. palm.

Now, while sliding up (see below) release the bar and when

you strike the c note on the G string, dive down again

about three steps go back to normal and up one step, then

down a lot more than three steps (I have no idea how many),

and back up. Then play the chords following that C on the

G string.

Now, the next part is some crazy shit with harmonics and

dives and general whackiness. I wouldn't even bother to

learn it let alone try to tab it out. Do something really

weird, run around and jump up and down and play with your

nose hairs or whatever.

We've skipped over the craziness. This is from Cathedral.

Your delay pedal should be already set up. This part is

all hammer-ons and pull-offs with your f.h. Use volume

swells continuously until this entire part is over. Spin

the vol. Knob back and forth pretty fast. Play to the

record and you'll get it.

After that final pull off to zero on the A string, the two

handed tapping ends and there is yet more crazy diving,

allowing him time to grab another pick. Hang out around

the first four frets on the G string; use lots of

artificial harmonic stuff and vibrato with the bar as you

dive and climb.

The classic trem. picking from Eruption begins below. Just

pick the notes as fast as you can. If you watch him, he is

holding the pick lightly and flicking his wrist, as if he

were ringing a bell, with his pinky partially extended. I

think I once heard him refer to this style as "Humingbird

Picking" because it's so damn fast.

vibrato if you like, for about six seconds.

This part below is all hammer-ons and pull-offs. The

number in brackets is the original number picked. If the

number following is higher than that preceding, it is a

hammer on and if it is lower, it is a pull off. Tapping

is not used and will not resume until noted.
