The guitar solo is a guess at best, because it's really hard to hear every single individual note Petrucci plays. He's playing lightning fast, so I just interpolated. Also, I think this song is played on a 7-string guitar, but the only note Petrucci plays on the low B is a 5th fret E artificial harmonic. I've written those notes in as (1)'s on the E string. If you're playing with enough distortion and you hit the harmonic just write, it sounds almost the same. Enjoy! Questions? Comments? Email me at [email protected]
