Hi there,

sorry for the late reply, you might have read that I couldn´t go online for a while.

Thanks so much for your kind words, I am glad you like the song !
Check out my website, we just uploaded three new songs, and I am very happy with those... I think they´re some of the best songs I have ever written.
Anyway, I don´t have a complete TAB for any of my songs, but I´ll try to give you some rudimentary info on it. Maybe I can make up a PTB-file with some of the main-licks tonight or tomorrow.

Anyway, the song is in the key of E major, tempo is 145 bpm
The chords:

Intro:

E5 / E5 / E5 / E5 /
C#5 / C#5 / C#5 / C#5 /
( repeat )
A5 / A5 / B5 / B5 / E5 / E5

1st Verse:
E5 / E5 / C#5 / C#5
( repeat )
A5 / A5 / B5 / B5 /
E5 ( 4 bars )

Chorus:
C#5 / C#5 / B5 / B5 /
A5 / A5 / E5 / E5 /
repeat

2nd Verse:
same as above

Chorus:
Same as above

Solo Chord Progression:
C#m / B / "E/G#" ( that´s a slash chord ) / A
F#m / "E/G#" / A / B
repeat

2nd half of solo, key changes to E min:
Em / D / "G/B" / C
Am / "G/B" / C / D
repeat

Chorus:
E5 / E5 / D5 / D5 /
C5 / C5 / G5 / G5 /
repeat

Anyway, I just created a small ptb-file containing a part of the intro, the first part of the chorus, the first part of the 2nd Verse ( the tapping part ) and one lick I used throughout the solo a few times.
This should help to get you started... it´s really not that hard to play the song. No really tough licks or weird scales included, I used notes from E major exclusively ( well, until midway through the solo... then the key changes to G Maj / E min, and so I used notes from those scales from then on )
Hope this helps
Thanks a lot for listening !
Warm regards
Eric

Uhmm... for some reason I can´t see the attachement.,.. maybe this isn´t working yet... remember, I have just gotten back online.
Anyway, I can send it to you by email... just send me a quick email to vandenberg@alnico-records.com and I´ll reply and attach the ptb
Thanks
Eric

EDIT: Oops I just noticed that ptb isnt a valid file extension for attachements... I guess that´ll be changed soon. I have uploaded the ptb to the ibreathe-ftp, here´s the link:
