 Standard tuning


 Comments: This song is strangely modal, so much so, I can't even figure out


 what mode. The chord sequence is obviously based on the E-minor scale but


 every chord is a major which does not fit comfotably in any mode I know.


 But then again, who cares ? It sounds good. If it hadn't been for the


 excessive whammy bar stuff in the solo I would have said Ace, some of the


 stuff played are pretty close to his. In reality, it's probably a hired


 gun. (For some reason the solo is very low in the mix on the Remastered CDs.)


 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
