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

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato

#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
() = Dive wbar
(/) = Release wbar
Tp = Tap wplectrum
