Road to ruin

Transcribed from "Lean into it"

Tabs arranged with TabMaster by O. Zefmer

p = Pull off

\ = slide down

Road to ruin from the "Lean into it" is basically played with 3 parts.

I called them riffs here. These are the tabs how git-whiz Paul Gilbert

(or Pablo Gilberto) plays them "in general" they may change in detail

during the verses.

Riff 1 is played at the beginning of first two verses. A strong slide down

should be used after each power chord.(E5, B5, C#5, F#5)

Riff2 is played with a powerful groove. Try a shuffle-feel with palm mute

for the bass notes. Chords are the same as in Riff 1.

Riff 3 I seperated in two parts. In Part 1 the Chords are A and B.

The chromatics are played over a C#m. The second Part is nearly the

same as Riff 2 but this one's got other ending chords

The solo is played over Riff 2. If somebody could figure out

how Paul plays that REAL fast arpeggio in that solo just give me a shout.

Hope you'll have fun
