None of them

It's one of those wild and wonderful Rik Emmett acoustic pieces that make you realize just how tough it can be to play guitar. There are probably some mistakes in this; it's been years since I lifted the song so I may have misremembered something :) If someone has a better way to play some of these parts (either alternate fingerings, or voicings that are closer to the original) I'd like to hear about them. All in all this is a fun song to play... even though after years I still can't do the party I marked 'nasty' that well. Enjoy, Dean This song is played with the 6th string tuned down to a D. You probably don't want to use a pick for this. \ / \ Indicates that the chord should be strummed from low to high strings. / Only chords marked like this should be strummed -- the rest should \ be fingerpicked. / e|-----5--\5--3--2--\3--5--7--\5-------------------------------------| B|--------/3--------/3--------/3--------3----------------------------| G|--------\2--------\2--------\2-----2--------2----------------------| D|--------/0--------/0--------/0-----------4-----4p0-----------------| A|--------\0--------\0--------\0-------------------------------------| D|--------/0--------/0--------/0-------------------------------------| -|-----5--\5--3--2--\3--5--7--\5-------------------------------------| -|--------/3--------/3--------/2-------------------------------------| -|--2-----\2--------\2--------\2-----2h4p2p0-------------------------| -|--------/0--------/0--------/2------------4p2p0--------------------| -|--------\0--------\0--------\0-----------------4p2p0---------------| -|--------/0--------/0--------/0-------------------------------------| -|--5---5--------3p2-----7--------9h10-----5--------2----------------| -|---------3----------------8-----------------3--------3-------------| -|------------2----------------7-----------------2-------------------| -|------0----------------0-----------------0-------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|--2-----------2-----3--3p2-----------------------------------------| -|-----3-----3--------5-------5--3--3--3p2-----3---------------------| -|--------4-----------4----------2----------2-----2------------------| -|--------------------2----------2-------------0-----4h7p4p0---------| -|--2----------------------------0-----------------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|-----------------2-----0----------------0-----------0-----2-----2/4| -|--3--3--------5-----------2-----3p2--------0-----------------------| -|--------4--------------------2-------2--------1--------1-----2--2/4| -|-----------4-------------------------------------------------------| -|-----2-----------------0-------------------------------------------| -|----------------------------------------2--------2-----------------| -|-----------------2-----0----------------0--------------0-----------| -|--3--3--------5-----------2-----3p2--------0-----0-----------------| -|--------4--------------------2-------2--------1-----1--------------| -|-----------4-------------------------------------------------------| -|-----2-----------------0-------------------------------------------| -|----------------------------------------2-----------------2--------| -|--5---5--------3p2-----7--------9h10-----5--------2----------------| -|---------3----------------8-----------------3--------3-------------| -|------------2----------------7-----------------2-------------------| -|------0----------------0-----------------0-------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| -|-------------------------------------------------------------------| harmonics -|--2-----------2-----3--3p2-----------------------------------------| -|-----3-----3--------5-------5--3--3--3p2-----3-----------(7)-------| -|--------4-----------4----------2----------2--2-----------(7)-------| -|--------------------2----------2-------------0-----------(7)-------| -|--2----------------------------0----------------0------------------| -|---------------------------------------------------4--0------------| The synth violins start here.

You will have to listen to the song to get the rhythm. I use the top of my nails, and rake them across the strings. Where I place a 'u' above the tab I rake just my thumb nail up the strings (high to low). Where I place a 'd' I rake my middle and ring finger nails down the strings (low to high). I generally hit the strings really hard here; so the open low strings should resound through the entire passage even where I don't explicitly mark them. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it; but I'm self-taught and this works for me. d u d d d d u d d d d u d d -|--2--2--3--0--2-----5--5--6--5-----5--7--7--8--7-------------------| -|--3--3--3--3--3-----6--6--6--6-----6--8--8--8--8-------------------| -|--2--2--2--2--2-----5--5--5--5-----5--7--7--7--7-------------------| -|--0--0-----0--0-----0--0--0--0-----0--0--0--0--0-------------------| -|--0--0--------------0-----------------0----------------------------| -|--0-----------------0-----------------0----------------------------| At this point I pretend I'm holding a pick between my thumb and index finger, and use the top of the nail to strum the strings.
