For this tab, I've used the live version from the BBC Live In Concert CD.
IMHO it's the best version of this song by a long way.
h = hammer
p = pull
s = slide
sd = slide down
r = let ring (sustain)
Intro;
This is played with digital delay distortion and chorus. Damp the strings at the
bridge using your right hand. The first echo needs to arrive half way between the
second and third notes. Thereafter each echo arrives half way between subsequent notes.
Put a little more emphasis on the B. The resulting effect makes it sound like you are
playing twice as fast as you actually are playing. Playing this live, the
best idea is to give the drummer a click track to follow that ties in with
two thirds of the delay speed. If you don't do this, there is a very good
chance that the song will fall apart since it relies heavily on everything
matching the delay speed. The delay speed is about 465ms and the click track needs
to be 310ms. This sounds complicated, but it's actually pretty straightforward once
you get the hang of it.
