 Tuned down 1/2-step


 Comments: Love this opening riff. As usual the guitars are panned hard left


 (Paul) and right (Ace) with a few more guitars thrown in for good measure


 (Ace's lead guitar comes in during the first two choruses to play Rhy. Fig 7


 and also to double Rhy. Fig 2). I think that the solo is a little out of


 character for Ace. Those half-step bends and releases on the 9th actually


 sound more like Paul but towards the end Ace shows his true colors with his


 signature sixteenth-note triplet slurs descending through a minor pentatonic


 scale. The notes in parenthesis in Rhy. Fig 3 are played every once in a


 while and is a result of Paul keeping time with the pick to make the rhythm


 more comfortable.


 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




 ** = 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
