Turn around
These turnarounds as I call them are
classic in this style of playing. The trick is to know your drum beat and
know your counts. Usually the drum beats you have to follow are fairly
straight forward, it's the rests in between that you have to be sure you count
just right or you'll come in late or even worse, early. That's
embarrassing for a guitarist, early is worse than late.
I
divided the tab below into sections. Each section is 1 part of 4 different
stop sections.

Main Theme
Riff
There are two guitar
parts here. 1 is playing a repeating pattern on the lower strings and
Guitar 2 is using a pitch shifter to create a haunting melody off in the
background. We were thinking suspense thriller when we did it.
Tabs below are
color coded. Guitar 1 is Black and Guitar 2 is Blue

Guitar 2 below is
done with a Pitch shifter, and the whammy bar is used to leave these pitches in
limbo so they scream in terror. I'll help you with this technique on the
video.

Transition
This is a little
Spanish style thing we went into. This
was planned but we didn't know specifically what was going to be played.
There are only 2
Guitars in this piece. The Guitar 1 chord hits in the right speaker and on
Guitar 2 I'm doing 2 parts at the same time, doing Eddie's technique from the
intro to Little Guitars. Only in a lower key for this track. This
whole thing utilizes the Phrygian mode in G minor.
As usual Guitar 1
is Black and Guitar 2 is Blue

Guitar 2
This is two
things at once. This is taken from Eddie's Little Guitars intro thing.
Our key is G minor, our mode is Phrygian. Phrygian
is a minor scale with a Flat 2nd.

Solo
This solo is probably
a bit more abstract than what most of you are used to. It is
however excellent practice for any skill level. This solo utilizes a
mixture of modes to give it a mood all its own. Even the VH style screams
that are in it, are not in the typical places or even over the typical chords
that VH would do them over. That's part of what makes it so cool, I think.
This solo was a
pain to transcribe because I did it off the top of my head and I had no video of
me doing it, so I'm tabbing it from memory really. The pitch shifter that
I used is optional. You don't have to use one. The solo will work
fine without it, simply crank your mid range EQ to suck some of the warmth out
of the tone and you'll be good to go.
This is the type of
solo you have to feel and just go with. Anything goes, there are no bad
notes, only weird sounding ones. I didn't pre-think the scales I was going
to use but I did know the bass line I was soloing over in advance.
Remember, like I always say, know what you're soloing over. If nothing
else you can use notes from the chords to build the whole solo. I didn't
do that in this case. In this solo's case I just went off and since I knew
the feel of the track, I tried to keep the solo in line with that. I was
going for a Bond movie feel with the solo. Sort of a weird action scene
from a James Bond movie from the 60's. Not the newer bond movies, those
are commercialized crap. lol I mean real James Bond movies.
__________________________________________________________________________
Bass
under the solo: Given to help you
understand what you're soloing over. Take note of the pitches in the Bass
part and how and or if they relate in any way to the pitches used in the Guitar
solo. I'm sure you'll find that they do relate in a lot of ways.

Solo ending
This is slick
little riffing I've covered in other lessons in the past. It's a Nuno
Bettencourt thing, he loves this pattern and I used to see him do it all the
time back East where I'm from. Extreme was a local band then and this was
one of the things I learned from watching his style. I put my own twist on
it and alter the feel slightly by adding in a note. There are 7 individual
tones in my sequence.
The Guitar goes up
in what are called, "diminished intervals". Diminished intervals are a
minor 3rd or 1 step and a half apart. That's 3 frets to you and I.
By contrast the Bass is doing a Chromatic pattern starting on F and going up to
Bb.
These contrasts and having instruments not just follow one another and copy each
other is part of how you keep a piece interesting to the listening audience.

Final

Classic ending for
this type of track. Again follow the drum beats and try to keep it as
tight as possible is the name of the game.
