Soto Email: lerxst@jersey.net Copyright 1993 Atlantic Recording Corporation & Anthem Entertainment Music by Lee & Lifeson Unhappy with 2 previous efforts I've seen, I've decided to finally get this right & stop winging it! I've spent alot of time on this short little tab and I'm VERY happy with it. I've divided the solo into sections to get each section easier to learn. There are a whole bunch of slides & hammer-ons & pull-offs. It seems as if the solo is somewhat inspired by Eric Johnson's IMO. I've included fingering also to guide in proper execution where helpful. FINGERS: i=index m=middle r=ring p=pinky Note: no rhythm totation shown here... oh well. -19-24p19-19\17----15h17h19p17p15----------------15-17p15--------------------- ----------------------------------18p15-15h17h18----------18/20-17p15p0h15h17- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ i r i i i m r m i r i i m r i m i r m i i m ---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- ----vvv\-|-------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- bar -14\12-10h12p10h12p10------------------------------------------------------|-- ----------------------12\10-----8\7h8p7\5h7p5\3----------------------------|-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------|-- ------------------------------------------------h5-h7-h5p0h5---------------|-- --------------------------------------------------------------7\5-vvvv\----|-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------|-- m i m i m i m hold i m r i r i i. m bar -------8-----------------------------------------------12-14------|----------- -10h12---10p8h10p8\7h8p7\5-----------------------12h14------------|----------- ---------------------------0h5h7/11p9-v-v--12/14------------------|----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------|----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------|----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------|----------- m p i m i m i m i i r i bar r i r i r -15----14-12----12---------------12------------12----------------------------- -------------15----15/17-15-12------15p12---------15p12----------------------- ------------------------------------------14------------14p12----12h14-------- --------------------------------------------------------------14-------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ r m i r i r m i i r i m i r i m i m i m --------------------------------------------------------------|--------------- -12h15p12-----------------------------------------------------|--------------- ----------12------9---7\5-7-7p5-------------------------7-vvv-|--------------- --------------------------------7-7p6p5-------------7/9-------|--------------- ----------------------------------------7--5---7--------------|--------------- --------------------------------------------------------------|--------------- i r i i m i r r i r r m i r i r AH -----------------------------------|-------------12-15---14--12----12-16b18-r- ---10---12---12/14----12-vvvvvv/19-|-------12h14----------------15------------ ------9----9-------14--------------|-12h14------------------------------------ -9---------------------------------|------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------|------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------|------------------------------------------ i m i r i r m i . --14p12-12-12-12-12--14-12------------------------------|--------------------- ---------------------------15-14-12---------15vvvvvvvvv-|--------------------- --------------------------------------14-12-------------|--------------------- --------------------------------------------------------|--------------------- --------------------------------------------------------|--------------------- --------------------------------------------------------|---------------------
