The song modulates from Aminor to Dminor for the solo, then back to A. So, the first part of the solo is basically D pentatonic minor stuff in the 10th position. The ascending runs right before the climax you are talking about are the D minor scale, but starting on A, Then Bb, then C. The last run is sextuplets using the Dminor scale starting on the 10th fret using the E and B strings. It is FAST, especially if the guys are playing the rhythm too fast behind ya haha. I have to work on it constantly leading up to a gig if we are gonna play it. Anyway...

10 12 13 12 10--------------10 12 13 15 13 12---------------12 13 15 17 15 13---------------13 15 17-18-17 15---------------15 17 18-
----------------13 11 10 11-13-----------------15 13 11-13-15------------------17 15 13 15-17------------------18 17 15 17-18--------

The last note is A on the E string... you have to skip it to go back to the rhythm part. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try to help ya. The tab doesn't line up correctly when I post it... there are NO double stops.

I say Solos can definitly play, I don't care about the sound! Its now upto polka to duel him with the guitar, and plays what he promises to. When can we expect a video?

Just wondering, I have seen pictures of Randy playing his white charvel which is equipted with a trem arm and in the picture it looks like he is doing a minor 3rd hammer and pull off and with his pick hand he is grabbing the string behind the hammer on and pull off and pulling the string up. This makes the same sound as diving slowly with the bar. any thoughts on this?

no it doesn't do the same as diving with the bar because pulling the string raises the pitch but the bar lowers it......and it looks very cool doing it to

You are correct my bad, so in "Over the Mountain" when Randy grabs the bar on the studio version and pulls up on those notes do you think he could be doing this in that picture with the white charvel?

That's the picture, where do you think Randy learned this from? do you think he orginated this? It's such a great technique and looks cool to!!!
