Starting off with the third finger. It makes it easier to nail that last C# note at the end of a fast run. 3 3 2 3 1 2 4 4 3 1 4 1 2 4 2 4 2 1 2 1 2 1 3 1 4 |---------------------11-10-8---------------------------------------------| |----------9---8-9-11---------11----8-9-11--9-11-9-8-9--8h9p8-------------| |-10~~~~-10--10-----------------------------------------------10p8--------| |------------------------------------------------------------------11-----| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| [#3] Livgren has such a fantastic comprehension of musical notes. The last note of the ending solo (an open 3rd string) just rings... and he possibly is lightly tapping the 12th fret of the 3rd string - giving the note a slight harmonic tone while it rings out over top the Gm chord. He manages to get a finger squeaking sound on the strings as well, as he switches between the final notes. This is easily accomplished on a wound 3rd string. (But of course, I don't have a wound 3rd string on my Strat!). So, that throws in the possibility of using the 4th string for the ending notes. Hmmmm. I guess this is all open to interpretation. Isn't it great? =============================================== Transcribed by GuitarRon@aol.com on Jan 23 1996 http://users.aol.com/guitarron
