"Lines in the Sand" by: Dream Theater You can find my video lesson here: http://youtu.be/RD1LTQK2cJE This is one of Petrucci's best solos feeling wise, and it's full of great licks. For the most part this tab is correct. There's just a few spots that are a bit tricky to do, but this will definitely get the job done. Have fun, and PM me if you have any questions. Standard Tuning: E,A,D,G,B,E For the note that has the * before it, pick it moderately fast. Key: "sd" Slide down "s" Slide "p" Pull off "h" Hammer on "br" Bend then release "X" Muted strings "/" Slide into given note "~" Vibrato "pb" Pre-bent note 5:40 Use about 1/2 volume
