The Leaving Song Part 2

Song: The Leaving Song Pt. II
Album: Sing the Sorrow 2003
Words and Music by: AFI
Re-written by: Joey Lavoie [email protected]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	"The intro to AFI's "The Leaving Song Pt. II" features guitarist Jade 
Puget utilizing two-hand tapping to preform an unaccompanied four bar melodic 
figure. While this technique came to symbolize the playing of metal guitarists
in the Eighties, it had noble beginnings with the likes of Eddie Van Halen
in the late Seventies as simply another tool with which a guitarist could 
express himself. It is in this spirit that Pudet uses the technique here.

	Sure, this solo guitar melody could have been played with a pick and
only one hand on the fretboard, but with two-hand tapping, the phrase becomes
more fluid. Each note follows into the next with a much smoother attack than
that which would be achieved with a pick.

	When preforming this passage, pay careful attention to the two tap-and-
slide moves, in each case making sure your tapping finger slides up to the 19th
fret without over or undershooting it."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"hf" - hammer with left index finger first time only
"+" - right hand finger tap
"00" - 0
"v" - bend string 1/4 step
"\/\/\" - vibrato
"NH" - natural harmonic
"." - palm mute
"x" - mute note
"," - tremolo pick

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


All guitars are tuned down one half step low to high: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

Moderate Rock - 90 beats per minute.

*Note: I know Jade Puget is their only guitarist, but in the studio he recorded
more than one layer of guitar on this track.
