Ron's Guitar Notes
#1 I use my pinky to crunch/mute the A note on the 5th fret of
the E string, then lay my first finger across the 2nd fret,
barring the 4th, 3rd and 2nd fingers. It comes close to
mimicking the driving bass here.
#2 You'll find the "lead-in solo" repeated in various parts of the
song, (including the ending) with only slight variations on the
few ending notes. (i.e. Sometimes a whammy down, sometimes a
slide down the neck, etc.)
#3 Barry Graul's solo incorporates a lot of slides into and out
of particular starting and ending notes. I've tried to include
all of the nuances of his technique, but if you're having trouble
figuring it out at first... try ignoring all the
slides (/'s and \'s).
Also...
Concerning " 15^17v15 " in the solo... the first note is picked
then the string is bent upward one whole step and brought back
down to the G note at the 15th. I wasn't sure if this would be
clear to everyone.
