Tabs & Lesson

Intro

There are 2 main guitar parts in the intro portion of this track lesson... I've color coded each individual part in the tabs below.... Please read all notes...

*Delay is used on Guitar 2 ONLY!! Phase 90 is on both

Guitar 1: Main Rhythm
Guitar 2: Secondary

See video for tips on blending the two as one guitar in a live setting.

Main Riff/Song kick in

What I've done here is VH inspired take off on the How Many More Times main riff... I've done things as VH might, not as Jimmy Page did... This is an important concept to understand when looking at this riff.... My thought was a mix of "Feel your love tonight", and "Atomic Punk" off of VH's first album.... The sound is also similar to those songs, but more to the atomic punk side of the spectrum.... See video for tips...

SOLO / Interlude

There are 2 distinct guitar parts here... Guitar 1 is doing a simulated version of the Page Bow riff, and guitar 2 is doing VH style speech like soloing, or that's what I call it anyway.... Both parts have Delay on them, see video for help and lesson....

Guitar 1: Repeating riff to simulate the Bow riff that Page did....

Guitar 1 sections above repeat throughout the solo.... See guitar 2 leads below...

Guitar 2: Leads - Leads are laid out in their phrasing sections for ease of reading... Simply follow along with the mp3... It's as easy as 1 to 3 to not get lost...

*See video for help... Whammy bar (w.b) sounds out the notes as you hammer on and pull off... It's tricky to tab, but easy to do... As always only notes in bold are picked...

*Tabs are accurate, so remember that if the screams don't sound right when you do them, simply move the position of your pick... This particular one is middle front, the scream is picked sort of in the middle but closer to the front or neck pickup than it is to the bridge one... See video for help....

Melodic Tap interlude section

This is basically a mode change, something VH does with songs like Jump for example.... It's a melodic tap section that's original, but I based the technique on a mixture of the Jump keyboard solo, and Spanish Fly's tap section...

*Chord names are implied by the Bass... They are written above the taps below so that you know for a lesson, what arpeggios are being tapped and not just the tap patterns themselves.... This is important so please don't ignore the lesson in favor of the tap sequence.... The one you hurt will be yourself... LOL...
