For Solo, at measure #s 102-103, the Artificial Harmonics on the
12th & 14th frets, thumb/pick the first set of notes at the 12th & 14th frets,
to the left of the middle pickup (on a strat, looking down). all other AHs
thereafter, thumb/pick to the right of the middle pickup.
The "Big Dive Bomb" in measure #s 115-116, is a cool wail that
*many* "hair-metal" guitarists had used primarily in the
mid-late 1980's that's produced as a Natural Harmonic on the B string
two point four
slightly higher than the 2nd fret (aka fret# 2.4 ) and just
a slight tad below the middle of the fret as measured necklength-wise.
That harmonic cannot be notated as described due to Power Tabs limitations
so instead, for purposes of it playing correctly within Power Tab,
I tabbed it as an artificial harmonic and placed the right note and octave
accordingly so please be aware of this.
I used an artificial harmonic to produce the high note for the synth.
Big thanks to Jim Cirronella & Chuck Bruce for their
suggestions of the guitar's arpeggios within the choruses.
