Bars 55-58:
This triplet riff is inspired by “Children Of
The Grave,” and is deceptively tricky. The
first challenge is getting the A and D strings
to ring out without the low E dominating
the sound. You can do this by slightly an-
gling your pick strokes, so they just graze the
low E while making firm contact with the A
and D strings.
The second challenge is the timing of the
hammer-ons. The first one is a grace note,
while the second is part of a group of tri-
plets. You might think of it as “bLA-da da-
da BA-da-da da-da”.
Bars 59-66:
Another Shadows-inspired melodic phrase,
making use of two octaves of the hexatonic
minor scale from bars 31-34. You’re free to
use whatever fingering feels comfortable
with this one.
Bars 67-75:
A series of unison bends bring this track to
a close. Rather than counting each bend
(there are 33 in total), it’s better to listen to
the drums for your cue to finish - you’ll hear
a big roll on the snare drum signalling that
the track is about to close. »
