"Guitar Solo" by TNT Artist : TNT Song : Guitar Solo Album : Three Nights In Tokyo Tuning : A half a step lower Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) First of all, I'd like to thank Chris Brough for the guitar lessons for 2 days! Without his help, this tab couldn't have been done! You need to thank him too :) This instrumental piece has been played since early '80s with different arrangements. From what I hear, this was called "Destiny" and almost appeared on Tell No Tales album. Please remember that it is IMPOSSIBLE to copy the machine gunning and some fast picking licks. Unfortunately, this tab contains a lot of them and I'd really appreciate if you could correct my mistakes. For most of the fast picking parts, you are just doing a picking trill of 3 notes like -11-12-15-. Pick those those 3 notes as fast as you can with different patterns. According to the video from early 80's when Dag was still a singer for TNT, Ronni played the intro like this below.
