Intro Solo:I`ve broken this into two main sections. Each one
lasts two bars. Swell into the first note of each
section with the volume control. The key here is
a smooth mellow sound. I haven`t shown the vibrato`s
because there is a basic 16th note shallow vibrato
through the whole solo, just listen to the record.
Try and pick as few of the notes as possible. Use
smooth slides and hammers/pulls to move between the
notes. Live, I think Dave uses a 4-stage phaser
(MXR Phase 90) with a fairly fast rate (about a
quarter note). There is a slight variation which he
plays on the 12 Wasted Years Video which I`ve shown.
At the end the F# note is sustained instead of
resolving to the E.

Live, in the second verse, after the line "If he had lived he would
have crucified us all" Adrian plays natural harmonics at the 5th fret
as follows.

Chorus: I`ve just shown the basic fingerings for the chorus. You
can pick up the strumming and muting from the record.
Note that on alternate repititions of the riff the last
two chords are muted and strummed differently.

The rhythm guitar here is just made up of sustained power chords
like this. Live, the sound here shimmers due to Dave`s phaser.
The strumming isn`t quite this plain, there are a few muted
strums usually before each chord change.

The next part is the lead which Adrian plays over the vocals
The note in brackets means that sometimes the phrase finishes
with F# and sometimes D.

The next part is the guitar harmony before the solo.
The bends at the end of these phrases may or may not be unison bends.
Try them yourself and see what you think.

The guitar solo is tapped with the side of the plectrum.
The highest note of each triplet phrase is tapped and the other
two notes are fingered with the first and third finger of your
left hand.
The tab as shown is played through twice except the bend in the
last bit is bent slightly sharper than the A note the second time.
