Song Level: Expert

Alrighty I finished it.. I played through the entire song slow and fast and this is it.

THIS IS AN EXPERT LEVEL SONG… that means scoop bends tone control vibrato etc needs to be down pack!

the subletlies of this song are many and I suggest breaking the song into sections to learn it.

I used bendometer to tab this out and the accuracy in my opinion is 2nd to none.

The articulation in this song is ULTRA IMPORTANT.. I tried to notate the subtleties of the song but only the ones that are crucial made it in.

. I tried my best to make this tab as simple as possible to read. I even used DAVID BARRETTES notation system.

Please dont complicate the song more than it already is. take your time and play each riff slowly..

YOU MUST LISTEN TO THE SONG IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO FULLY GRASP THE MAGNiTude and timing of each riff.. any who.. 🙂 harp on…!!!
