The right hand attack here( look at RH palm-up ,hold pick)
_r)a)m) K\/k_ ?
is one of the tougher pick and roll combinations I can claim to have tried ,as I use (K\/k) alternate picking as a simulation of Doug Rauch's bass figure kicking a roughly 12/8 rhythm feel. Sound like the whole Band! The fret #'s follow each RH attack so ,you'd do well to see the lowest fret # in each flow grid as being where the (L1) 1rst Left finger goes ,L2 and L3 trade off between the 6th and 3rd strings and pinky L4 gives the top |E| string a steady grip voicing any kind of 10ths or 11ths. See|B| is open,throughout. Since the main Vamp is G#m(Ab Minor)__D#Minor(Eb Minor), other wise, this wide contrast of Major ,Minor plus "sus" voicing gives John McLaughlin some interesting options to voice the relative Major chord BMaj( to G#m) ,the F# (to D# Minor), etc. !!!!! B MAJOR/D#* Use this "grip" to see the first TAB voiced .
~E__A__D__G__B__E.~ #1234Left [- x 1 - (0) -].POS IX ~ [- - -]. _(BMa/D#).[2 3 4].(Fret 11)
Here is John McLaughlin's basic B Major voicing without the 'E' strings bass note ~E__A__D__G__B__E.~ #1234Left [x x 1 - (0) -].POS IX~ [ - -]. _(Fret11).[ 3 4].(Fret 11)
