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 wbar
(/) = Release wbar
Tp = Tap wplectrum
