Tab for "Blight of River-Systems" Solo?

[killgore5567]

I absolutely love the solo in that song, it's the greatest I've ever heard.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone here knows where I could find a tab for it.

Thanks in advance.

man i kind of agree. this solo is an early greg classic--like nabokov's "la veneziana" or something.

hey i admit i am lazy but i really do need to find time to tab more stuff out.

what i could do after my meeting this morning is start posting chunks of the solo as i remember it. i don't have a guitar with me so it will be tough.

also if anyone else wants to take a stab at learning it by ear it actually is a very easy solo technically and the guitar is tuned to standard tuning except the low E is dropped down to C but i don't use that string in the solo.

and the solo is is g minor

GO

i'll give you the first three notes of the solo Bb(18th fret e string) G(15th fret e string) D(15th fret b string)

...then I ran out of frets since I'm using my acoustic. That should get you started though. I think it's close enough for the most part, though I make no claims regarding my tabbing ability. Note values are very rough and I didn't notate hammer-ons and bends and whatnot.

 

[Baliset]

i think you may be right on with the notes. i think the positions i use are different but i mean that is just personal preference.

remember when we played this live and that dude in the maiden shirt gave us the finger

 

[Baliset]

was he wearing a miden shirt?

i DO remember sound-checking for the milwaukee fest and playing the riff from "ghost of the navigator" and someone in the crowd yelled "MAIDEN!"

Wow, thanks for the help you guys, I really appreciate it.

And Greg, I know you probably get this all the time, but I just wanna say that you're an awesome musician, the solo in this song alone is one of the main things that is inspiring me to become a guitarist.

Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

i don't really get that all the time but thanks for saying it.

i'll try to remember more of it tonight when i get home and can fiddle with my guitar a bit during a break when i am practicing solos i just wrote for my solo project.
