Notice
1. Joe Satriani is somewhat notorious for his legato phrasing, wherein he plays a flurry of hammer-ons and pull-offs while picking only once or twice per phrase or run. Here, beginning with measure 14, Satriani uses hammer-ons with his left hand (by sharply fretting the note) to sound the string at the beginning of several legato phrases. Using this method, he picks only once to spew clouds of gnat notes for almost three full measures (beginning on the third note of measure 13 to the end of measure 15). I had to represent these initiating hammer-ons as taps "T" - because PTE doesn't permit one to use a hammer-on without a prior sounded note from a fretted or open string.
2. In sharp contrast, in measures 17-18, 24, Satriani uses right hand taps, either with fingers or the edge of a pick, to execute note clusters.
3. In a number of places (e.g. measures 22-23, 26, 31-32), Satriani uses "controlled feedback" to get certain notes. To get feedback, significant volume and sustain are highly recommended. Once these qualities are acquired, a guitar will feed back in a "controlled" manner when the guitar's pick-ups are pointed at the amplifier at certain angles. You have to experiment a little to get the right feedback pitches. I used artificial harmonics in the score to simulate the feedback tones.
4. In measure 22, Satriani changes notes from G to the next highest B by inducing feedback. Contrary to the score, the artificial harmonic from the second string 20th fret is NOT played. I put it there simply to simulate the correct feedback sound from holding the G note played on the first string, fifteenth fret. You still have to figure out how to aim your pickups at the amp to get the sound.
5. The lead in measure 17 is peformed entirely on the fifth string --- all 37 or so notes of it.
6. Measure 28 and the beginning of measure 29 have the parts for two harmonizing guitars, separated into upper and lower voices. It is doubtful that both parts could be played by one guitar as tabbed -- unless your hands are big enough to play seven and eight fret stretches.
7. If you find any errors, please send me a message so I can correct the score. Thanx.
