This is one of the better songs of the Above album. It isn't any easy
song to figure out. I did my best so that is all i could do. A lot of the
music in this song is just going into little scales of the chords being
played. Anyway here is my best try at it:
notations:
**********
s=slide
h=hammer on
p=pull off
v=vibrato
guitar parts:
-------------
this part is played in the begining
E |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B |--8-----8------------------------------------------8----8---------------|
G |--7-----7h9h7--------------------------------------7----7h9p7-----------|
D |--------------9p7----------------------------------------------9p7------|
A |-------------------10--7--10--7--10-----5h7-5v----------------------10--|
E |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B |----------------------------8----8-------------------------------|
G |----------------------------7----7h9p7---------------------------|
D |---------------------------------------9p7-----------------------|
A |--7-10s12--7--10---5h7-5v-------------------10--7--10s12--7--10--|
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--|
B |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--| then go
G |-----------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--| to the
D |--7--------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--| verse part
A |--------10s12---5------2--x--2---2--x--2--|
E |-----------------------3--x--3---3--x--3--|
verse:
------
this part i'm sure is a C to G progression, but i'm not sure how he
hammers on and pulls off notes, this is close enought though
E |--0----0--0--0--3--3-x--3--3--3--3--|
B |--3p1--1--0--1--1--3-x--3--3--3--3--|
G |--0----0--0--0--0--0-x--0--0--0--0--|
D |--2----2--2--2--2--0-x--0--0--0--0--|
A |--3----3--3--3-----2-x--2--2--2--2--|
E |-------------------3-x--3--3--3--3--|
that is basically the verse, he does some other improvisational stuff
which is just going into scales (i believe the G-scale) and goes a bit
crazy
chorus:
-------
this is the best i could come up with..........
when you get to the D-chord in this progression, work with the hammering
on and pulling off to get the real effect of the song.
E |--3---3-3---3-3p2--2--2--2-3p2--2-2-2--|
B |--3---3-3---3-3----3--3--3-3----3-3-3--|
G |--0-x-0-2---2-2----2--2--2-2----2-2-2--|
D |--0-x-2-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
A |--2-x-3-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
E |--3-x-0--------------------------------|
then after the chorus, it goes back to the verse
******at the end of the song just go back to the first part of the song
=======================================================================
=======================================================================
that is basically it (that is my best try)
oh......if you want to use two guitars but can't both play the song, you
could do one of two things:
1)when the lead guitarist is playing you could strum the whole chord while
he is playing (with a lower volume) to give a fuller effect.
2) (my personal choice) You could solo over the song, which sounds very cool.
But you might be saying to yourself, i don't know what scale? Well i'll tell
you which scale, use the G-scale.
this ins't the entire G-scale, just the part that i like to use for the song
E|-----------------------------10-12--------------------------------12-15-17-|
B|-----------------------10-12------------------------------12-15-17---------|
G|----------------7-9-12----------------------------12-14-16-----------------|
D|----------5-7-9-----------------------------12-14--------------------------|
A|------5-7------------------------------12-14-------------------------------|
E|-3-5-7----------------------------12-15------------------------------------|
(the notes are in no particular order, just go crazy)
work with it, it will sound good
