This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Caught In A Web

DREAM THEATER

Caught in a Web

from Awake

Here's the chromatic interlude part (played mostly unisono by bass,

guitar and keyboard). Petrucci plays this on a 7-string, the tab here is

for a 6-string guitar - it's transposed up an octave ( except bars 2,4 and

15 to end ).

This whole part makes a great warm-up excersise ( when you play it

slower ). It's also perfect for practicing cross-picking and

string-skipping - check out the sextuplets at the end...
