Kick in

Use delay for 1st chord hit only. If you want to turn the level down to 25%, and the F.Back down to 1.5 hits, it can be used as a great reverb enhancer for the rest of the song...

Theme riff (single note version)

Apply semi-harmonic to the riff below, and be sure to only use a warm mild overdrive. Not distortion. There's a huge difference there...

Bridge

One of the mainstays of Vito's style is breaking chords up. Simple chord patterns become 100 times more interesting as they're broken apart into little arpeggio sequences and slick little transitions...

Chorus

The chorus is a mix of two guitar parts. 1 part lets power chords ring out, and the other part does a melody.. The melody is actually the most important part. It's a good idea to draw some conclusions as to how all this works together. I've done the same root chords as "Wait" however, I've written by own melody part for it. The theory is the same either way you slice it. If you were one guitar in a live setting, you would want to try to incorporate at least some of the melody part. It's a key element to the track, that's often overlooked by bands playing "Wait" out live in clubs.

Guitar 1 = Power chord part (Black Tab)

Guitar 2 = Melody parts (Blue Tab)

Guitar 1: Let chords ring out

Melody Guitar part

Guitar 2: Use a lighter guitar tone if possible. In other words, less overdrive than guitar 1

Solo

No effects were used by me, Chorus, light delay is optional...

I've given you a ton of the trademark "wait like" moves here in this solo. I have to walk a fine line between copyrights, and lesson. What I've given you here is a moderate skill level. Take it in pieces. Every line of tab can be a lesson in and of itself... If you have trouble with a section, take it slow, and try to get it down. These same techniques can help you translate and understand any White Lion tabs you find. We'll talk about the techniques involved with a solo like this on the Video lesson, and I'll demo the pieces of it for you, to help you apply the tabs to the fret board....

The chord pattern this is over is a basic, Am, G, D/F#, F chord pattern. Take note of the chords over the leads. There's good lesson in them thar chords and they work with the leads..

*Notes in parenthesis are tapped**

*Notes in italic are held over*

See video for help with these leads and the techniques....

Solo ending

There's a couple different ways to do sections like this, some tapped, and some not. Frankly the tapped way as I did it sounds more vito in my book, however like I say I'll show you others on the video lesson, but below is what I did for it..

Ending chorus is the same as the other chorus, so I'm not going to tab it again for that reason....
