Hi Jim - thanks for the kind words!
The transcription is indeed correct! Up to speed though, it can be difficult to hear the rhythmic articulation and separation of the notes when it's bouncing back and forth between the 8th and 10th frets on different strings. The higher gain tone doesn't help with this either, so the attack might be lost a bit.
Be sure to use the speed buttons on the left side of the video frame to slow down the faster licks. That might help a bit to match the performance with the tab.
Hopefully this helps! Let me know how it goes!
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply. I had been using the slow settings. From your slow lick by lick explanation, I just assummed it was the other way round. You probably are right that the transcription is correct. the record is very muddy on those beats so I will just go with that. Interestingly, I have several other transcriptions of the song from the guitar mags and that spot is different in all of them! but after doing it as written, I really like that phrasing and it stands out. So thank you for that. Very cool lick.
BTW: is there a way to be notified when you have replied other than just checking back?
Jim
