TAB: "Vasoline" by STP (solo)
Okay, I've gotten enough "nice" requests for the solo to this song ever since I posted the tab a couple of weeks ago. Honestly though, I think that anyone with a little lead knowledge could come up with a better solo. In my opinion, this is not the best lead work I've ever seen (like much of DeLeo's lead stuff). DeLeo is a good riffster but not much of a solo-er. But here it is, as best as I could make it out (it's basically in G):
||-8p7-----8p7-----8p7---|---8p7-----8p7-----8p7-|-----8p7-----8p7-----| ||-----6-6-----6-6-----6-|-6-----6-6-----6-6-----|-6-6-----6-6-----6-6-| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------| ||-----------------------|-----------------------|---------------------|

------------------------|---------------------|| p= pull-off ------------------------|---------------------|| b= bend 4p0-4p0-4p0-------------|-4p0-4p0-4p0---------|| bf= bend full ------------0-5p0-0-----|-------------0-5/9\5-|| b&harm= create an --------------------2-2-|---------------------|| artificial harmonic ------------------------|---------------------|| and bend it full ~~~= vibrato
Oh yeah, and someone sent me a suggestion that makes quite a bit of sense. Instead of playing that fucked up chord that I had in my original tab (during the intro and bridge) try this:
E---0--- B---3--- G---3--- D---3--- A---0--- E-------
Whoever it was said it sounds pretty much the same. (Thanks to whoever you are.) At any rate, it's MUCH easier to play. Later, Paul D. (s3bz@music.transy.edu)
