"Some day you will see."
_________________________________________________
solo: *This solo is very difficult to play without a whammy/pitch shifting
pedal and a Floyd Rose or other locking tremlo bridge. Kirk uses it in
various places which allows him to hit just one note and take it all over
the place without moving. The solo also uses tremlo and octave effects
which gives it the real "out there" sound.*
play rhythm riff 2b twice

C----------------------------------------------------------------

D----------------------------------------------------------------
The octave and tremlo come in here which give the vibrating sound
and instead of sliding down the neck, Kirk just uses the trem, or
the pitch shifter, and just picks the 12.

this is played several times, but it doesn't change much.

"One day you will see." "And dare to come down to me."
The rest of the sung part pretty much follows this or close to it.

Here is the biggest part where the pitch shifting comes in, Kirk also hits
the Rose for the stuttering sound. I think the only note he actually plays
is the F-14.
