Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Probably my favourite track on this album. The main riff is
deceptively simple. The trick is to finger it right and then keep it
that way. In Rhy. Fig 1 you should play the double-stop with your first
finger, use your third finger for the ascending slide and put your second
finger on the B-string. The trick now, is to keep that fingering, third
finger on 13th fret G-string and second finger on 12th fret B-string, and
shift the position down two frets. It shouldnt be a slide really but
will get that feel if its done right. To get the sound thats on this
track it is imperative that you let the B-string ring (second finger
firmly planted) as you shift position. The second finger will follow
the third and end up on the 10th fret, still ringing out, creating a
new fingering: third finger 11th fret G-string and second finger 10th
fret B-string. DO NOT pick the B-string again, it should just ring
sympathetically so to speak. Once you play the 9th fret with your
first finger take the pressure off of your second finger. Once you
get the hang of it, it is easy; trying to explain it however, is not.
