Rather than using a guitar that has a toggle switch configured to one pickup off, on pickup on, the guitar has off, on, off, which allows for a 'Hummingbird Wing' effect. |-------------------12----------------10-------14-------17-------22------| |-12-------10----------------10-------12-------14-------15-------19------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------| Toggle switch effect comes in after every note. As for the rest of the solo, alot of it sounds like random Whammy effects. I decided not to tab it because it would take me days on end to do and hardly anyone would take the time to sit down and actually learn it. If you really want a transcribtion of it try powertabs.net. Some of those tabs are purely amazing. Bridge/Verse: |-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--| |--------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------| "Shapes of every size..." Main verse riff soon enters. Outro: (possibly the best outro ever) |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| x4 |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--12-\-3--5--0-10--12--0-3-5p(0)--| The next part is exactly the same but heavier. I presume there would be an overdub in here but there's no power chords, it's exaclty the same as the softer part.
