Answer notes

For this problem I tried to throw you for a loop by using open string pull offs and hammer ons, as well as artificial harmonics here and there.  I also threw in a tapped accent note. 

This problem was easy for some, but for others it wasn't so easy.  If you remembered lessons learned from previous problems, then you would have figured out some of it, right off the top.  This was one of those problems that either needed to be slowed down, or taken pitch by pitch, at least during the opening scale portion of it anyway.

Glad to see that ear training 101 has increased in popularity.  We'll keep it light from here on out, but if you understand why a good ear is important and you will become a much better player, and very quickly I might add.

Enjoy the tabs.. and be sure to compare yours to mine and play both ways, (yours and mine) to "train your ear" to what a good note sounds like vs. a bad note or a mis-match I should say.

TABs

With mild overdrive and a medium level of reverb.

This is mostly just an A minor scale, however the ending utilizes the "Phrygian mode"  Which is a fancy way of saying the Flat 2nd or "Bb" replaces the B.  This Bb is highlighted Yellow in the tab below.

Release bend on 3rd fret 5th string at the moment you release the tapped note.  Then do a heavy bend and release vibrato on the 3rd fret 5th string to end the fill.
