>From the Dare to be different album

Transcribed by Steve M. (maxmar@wire.net.au)

I worked out most of this song after watching tommy play it on his

"guitar talk" video and just put in the missing pieces. I haven't

tried working out that nifty acoustic solo yet, but anyhow, enjoy.

Tuning: normal

b = bend

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

v = vibrato

h = hammer on

p = pull off

^ = palm mute

Riff 1 - electric guitar (with a little distortion)

e --7h9-9p7-5-------------------------|---------------------|

B ------------5v--------5-5h7---------|----------5----------|

G ---------------/6-7-7-------7-6-4v--|--4-6-6/7---7-7p6p4--|

This last bar is played at a fairly rapid pace.

e --------------------------7/9\7---7\5-5v--|

B ----------------5-------5-----------------|

G --4-6-6/7-6-6/7---4/6-7---------8-(\6)----|

D ------------------------------------------|

E ------------------------------------------|

Now play riff 1 again, but replace the last bar (above) with this:

e --------------------------7/9\7-5v--|

B ----------------5-------5-----------|

G --4-6-6/7-6-6/7---4/6-7-------------|

D ------------------------------------|

A ------------------------------------|

E ------------------------------------|

Here's the next part which is played at around 1:00 into the track.

e ---------------------------------|-----10-9/-------12-10/--|

B --12p10--------------------------|-----------14-15---------|

G --------9v--/9-7\5-5-7-/9-7-7h9--|--/9---------------------|

Well that's it for now, the rest of the song (apart from the acoustic

solo)

is just variations on riff 1, with a few extra bits here and there.
