This is probably Gary’s most well known cover. I watched him play it
live at the Hard Rock in Phoenix last Jan. (remember me Gary? I was
the guy who had you sign every one of your albums)
I believe the intro goes like this:
|——————|
|——————|
|——————|
|——————|
|-4—–4—–4—-|
|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2—-|
He then does some other overdriven stuff, before he gets to the
lead in:
|-15H17-17-17-17–17-17-15H17-17-17-17————————-|
|-15H17-17-17-17–17-17-15H17-17-17-17————————-|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
Then he gets to the main riff:
|-12—-12~-10—-10~-8—-8~-7—7~-5—5~-3—3~————-|
|—-13——–12——-10——8——6——5—-0-4-5~——|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
There’s another version of this riff which he does later:
(Tremelo pick this)
|-12-12-12-12-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-5-5-5-5——|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0————–|
|————————————————-0-0-0-0-4-5–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
And right after that he does an insane version, which I can’t figure
out.. I think it starts like:
|-12——12——10——————————————-|
|—-10-8—-10-8—-8-7–and so on—————————-|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|
|————————————————————–|

He likes to use wah in this song, so make it funkay 😉
