major thanks dude! but i only have 21 frets

September 23, 2006 9:59:00 AM UTC Post #3

a trick i learned is when u dont have enough frets(considering i only have 22) is to just bend up on the higher notes on your highest fret if u know what i mean

September 23, 2006 10:00:48 AM UTC Post #4

Yeah, like for example if you bend the 6th fret just to the right level it will sound like the 7th.

September 23, 2006 11:48:47 AM UTC Post #5

thats proper bending, bending isn't usually just randomly bent, its usually a half or full step. this song can be played with 22 frets, i did it in the video. Plus its a bend at the end of the song anyway where if u bend hard enough, it would be as if you were playing the 24th fret

September 25, 2006 7:32:19 PM UTC Post #6

I've seen Matt play his solo 2 ways.One way like tab you posted,but most of the time lower on the fretboard.Like this

September 26, 2006 3:10:19 AM UTC Post #7

OMFG ON COREYS SOLO I PLAY EXACTLY LIKE THAT O.O WHOOOT IM RIGHT!!! i feel good 8) im a shitty tabber but ill try it later on with entrance solo and i got all of unrepetant learned

September 26, 2006 5:43:48 PM UTC Post #8

it's the same thing...just played lower on the fretboard, n...honestly its right either way, but he plays it 90% of the time the way i tabbed it, w/e's easier for you i guess...

September 28, 2006 8:27:49 AM UTC Post #9

well.. ive seen many like light solos videos from matt and he always plays it lower on the fretboard because his gibson had only 22 frets as well, anyone able to tab out the lower thing?
he also played it in a different way at the rochester show as you can see in the vid

September 28, 2006 9:58:50 PM UTC Post #10

watch the astoria video, he does it in the same spot as tabbed, with the gibson
