This tune is an instrumental recorded at Gravity Studios around 1994. The song is also known as "New Wave Echo". ///Lead FIG. 1\\\ played by guitar 1. (w/echo) E--------14-14--------14-14--------14-14----15-15-15- B---------------------------------------------------- G--14-14-------14-14--------14-14--------14---------- D---------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- ///Rhythm FIG. 1\\\ played by guitar 2 E---------------------------------- B---------------------------------- G---------------------------------- D---7-7-5-4-5-4-2-0--0-2-0-5-5-5-5- A---7-7-5-4-5-4-2-0--0-2-0-5-5-5-5- D---7-7-5-4-5-4-2-0--0-2-0-5-5-5-5- The song starts out with Lead Fig. 1 alone 2x, then the band joins in. The song goes on like that for many measures until. ///Lead FIG. 2\\\ played by guitar 1 E-----------------------------------r B-----------------------------------e G--/14-14-12-11-12-11-9-7--7-9-7-9^-p D-----------------------------------e A-----------------------------------a E-----------------------------------t then E----------------------------------- B----------------------------------- G--/9-9-7-6-7-6-4-2--2-4-2-4br-2---- D----------------------------------- x4 A----------------------------------- E----------------------------------- Many variations occur, especially at the bending parts. During Lead FIG 2, guitar 2 continues to play Rhythm FIG 1 The song then goes back to Rhythm FIG 1 and Lead FIG 1 playing together until ///Rhythm FIG 2\\\ E--------------------------------- B--------------------------------- G--------------------------------- D------4-4----4-4-----4-4---4-4-4- A--0-0----0-0-----0-0-----0------- D--------------------------------- That doubles LEAD FIG 1 as you can tell. Heres the other riff guitar 1 plays towards the end. E--------------------------------- B--------------------------------- G--------------------------------- D--7-7-5-4-5-4-2-0--0-2-0-5-5-5-5- A--------------------------------- E--------------------------------- The song rotates around those riffs. If you listen to it you should easily be able to find the proper rhythm, as well as when to play each part. I wont lie to you, the song was very easy to transcribe, it took me about 15 minutes to write the entire tab, i dont think its very difficult. LISTEN TO IT
