end of solo.

I might as well post some more.

here are the fills for the riff repeated thousands of times:

the riff: and the fills:  1   2   3   4
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
--------------------------2-----------2--------------
--1--3--------------------4---0---4---2--------------
--1--1--------------------0---0---0---0--------------
--1--1--------------------0---0---0------------------

for the intro, uses fill 1, 4 times. During the verse,
use fill 2 and 3, fill 2 twice, fill 3 once, and then
fill 2 again. Right before the chorus, use fill 4.

and here is the chorus: (once again, you see an in) two guitars

gtr. 1: riff A
-0-0-0------------------------------------------------
-3-4-5-/10-8------------------------------------------
-------------7-6-5~~----------------------------------
----------------------5-4-3~~-----------0-------------
------------------------------3-4-5--5----------------
-------------------------------------5----------------

gtr. 2: riff A1  pre bent

-3-4-5-----------|-----------------------------
-------/5-4--2-4-4~~-4-2----------------0------
--------------------------3----------2---------

and that should do it for the whole song aside from the extended
outro, which is a couple pages long, and would take a long time to post.

This song is cool, but it's kind of boring to play since it's only a few
chords and stuff, but I like the Bridge/Chorus I'm not sure if it's the
bridge or the chorus. Oh well here you go.

Tuning- Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb.

Main Riff : Play this 8 million times

1---X-X-X-0
2---X-X-X-3
3---X-X-X-2
4---1-3-X-0
5---1-3-X-0
6---1-3-X-0

Although there are a few times where you up rake the D5 chord.

Chorus/Bridge Riff: There are two guitars in this riff. I only figured
out one of them, but it sounds right anyways.

1----------------5-3---------------------
2----------3-4-5-----3-2-1---------------
3--------2-------------------------------
4--1-3-X-2-----------------5-4-3---------
5--1-3-X-0-----------------------3-3-4-5-
6--1-3-X---------------------------------

then repeat from the A5 chord.

I'm too lazy to figure out the solo. Oh well. Waltb@netcom.ca

I'm not the best at these tabs so if you could make the timing
for the guitar a little better that would be great.
