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

Tabbed by James Lee (jameslee@leland.stanford.edu)

(Warning: this is only a partial tab)

Repeat the above figure with another guitar playing this on top:

--------------------------------------------------12------|
---------------------------------------------------12-----|
-9-------9-------9-------9-------9-------9----------12----|
---9-------9-------9-------9-10----9-10----9---------14---|
-----10------10------10-----------------------10------14--|
----------------------------------------------------------|

Main Theme:

(Note: These are the right notes but probably the wrong positions.

This is the easiest way I can think of to play it.)

b = bend (the number in parentheses is the number of steps)

r = release bend

pb = pre-bend (the number in parenthesis is the number of steps)

/ = slide up

^ = legato (hammer-on or pull-off)

Repeat this twice (with different endings):

/-- slide up to this note on the second repeat

---------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------5-7-7b(.5)--7-5-----------------------------|
--------9-7b(.5)-------------------7---------------2b(1)r-0-2--|
------9------------------------------7b(1)r-5----2-------------|
-7-10-----------------------------------------/3---------------|
---------------------------------------------------------------|

1st ending:

/-- not quite a full bend

--------------------------0----------------|
-------------------------------------------|
-0-2-2b(1)-2b(1)r-0-2b(1)---2^3^0-2-0------|
--------------------------------------2-0--|
-------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------|

2nd ending:

--------------|

-0-2-0--------|
-------2-2-2--|

After all that:

--------------------------|
--------------------------|

-0-2-4--4-5--5pb(1)r-5-5--| Here's where I got lazy and stopped...

--------------------------|
--------------------------|

...it's not much, but it's all I've figured out so far. If anybody has

the full tab to this or any other Marty Friedman song, please e-mail

them to me.
