"Man of Sorrows" Solo

Artist@Song@Album: B.Dickinson @ Man of Sorrows @ Accident of Birth

Tab by: Francesco Spina

E-mail: francescospn@hotmail.com

Legenda ( <- this is Latin!! ):

fb = full bend (1 tone bend)

br = bend release (play the note already "bended" and release)

/ @ \ = slide on @ slide off

L = legato ("hammer on" or "pull off")

x = indefined note

(note)= hold the note without playing it

* = tab note, see the end of the solo for explanation

Examples:1: 12fbbr12 means:play the 12, "fullbend" it ("14" sound)

and release again to 12.

2: 12L10L12 means: play 12, "pull off" to 10 and

"hammer on" on 12.

3: 5/12 means: play 5 and slide on 12 (this is a

sort of "legato" too).

IMPORTANT: as you can guess listening the song, this solo MUST

be played with intensity, note by note.

Notes:

*1: it's a undefined sound. I think it's

a mixed pick-hand slide beginning

from 12.

*2: it's not the easier way to make it. 3 - - - - - 10 - - -

I think is best the version above 4 - - - - 10 - - - -

but you can try also like this: 5 - - - 7 - - - - - -

6 - - 8 - - - - - - -

*3 & *4: the version above it's easy

but has never gained trust in my

"madness" mind. I prefer to play

a "mega" bend (1,5 tones); being 4 - - - - - - - - - - -

in the 5th string it's necessary 5 - 5fbbr5(5) 7fbbr7(7)

to do a "reversed" (down) bend: 6 - - - - - - - - - - -

E-mail me what do you think about (solo and "alternative visions")

at francescospn@hotmail.com

This work is dedicated to my love Eleonora.

That's all... greetings from Italy!
