2.25-2.59 Fig 1a,b,c like in the start of the song for rythm as the solo plays
Solo : 2:31
2:38
2:42
Sweepin and stuff
He does this minor sweep with a double tap using his middle and ring finger
i think. So when u tap those notes it's kind of like a hammeron and pulloff.
If you don't have a 24th fret, just try to tap the string where the 24 fret
would be, should work with some practice.
2:48 Killer-fast penta riff, just make sure to start on the 13th fret and end up
on the 10th fret!
x3 times ( last time he ends up on the 12th fret F string)
(think of the notes as in groups of sixes)
2:56 Fast hammer on and pulloff lick, might not be 100%
3.00 - 3.15 Fig 4a
Clean once again
Just play the chords in shape of Dminor and Cmajor(since it's tuned down they are
actually C minor and A# Major)
3.16 - 3.26
3.25 - 4.40 Chords for rythm, this is where solo2 is played
(x's are muted strings, just punch down on the strings before chords for cool
effect)
3.30 - 3.50
Solo 2 Unison bends
(hold the bend on the a string here and pick it repeateadly also listen for when
he hits the 20fret on the d string)
3.50 - 4.40
