Rythem - Riff #01 (w/ Wah-Wah)



Repeated a load of times, moves on to Rythem - Riff #02

Rythem - Riff #02

Again repeated a few times, returns to Riff #01

Lead - Interlude Riff #01(Pre-Solo)

As you might have seen in my YouTube Video @ 1:53+,
I didn't quite get the Timing right.
It seems to be a slightly off beat sequence of Chords compared to the drum beat,
but they always come on the beat of the timing.
So those who have better knowledge of timing and rythem will be abel to do this one better than me.



Repeated 4 times,

Lead - Interlude Riff #02 (Leading into the Solo)



Repeated 4 times, moves on to the Solo - Part 1

Solo - Part 1

This Part of the Solo uses the Minor Pentatoinic Scale "Position #1" in the Key of E



Which is Repeated Twice, Returns to Lead - Interlude Riff #02 (Leading into the Solo)

Second time through it continues to a set of repetitive Bends and Slides,

Solo - Part 2



If you know your Blues Penetatonic Positions well,
you can work them back up/down the fret board to work out which ones are used in the slides,
and from which key.

9th on the G is the 8th note in the 4th Position, in the Key of E (Root @ 7th Fret on E),
16th on the G is the 8th note in the 2nd Position, in the key of E (Root @ 15th Fret on E).

Then, you just return the main themes a the beginning after the Drumm Roll.

*NOTE: The Outro fades out with Riff #02

Enjoy!
