'Blowfish' by Vai Steve - Guitar Tutorial

                                         
                           

This song is played with a double pitchshifter, one pitch is one octave
below and the other is one octave above. I think it is played straight
through a Digitech 2101 with loads of compression.

Iwrote this from out of my head without a guitar so errors are
bound to be in there somewhere....hope it's useful anyway.

                                     Play half Riff A and then
                                     repeat Part1 with wha.
                       End Part1.    Then there is a solo-bit
                                     I won't Tab!After the solo
                                     comes the following:
