Blowfish by Steve Vai This song is played with a double pitchshifter, one pitch is one octave below and the other is one octave above. I think it is played straight through a Digitech 2101 with loads of compression. Iwrote this from out of my head without a guitar so errors are bound to be in there somewhere....hope it's useful anyway. pickslides riff A---> b1 |-----------|-----------------------|--------------------------|-------------- |-----------|-----------------------|--------------------------|-------------- |-----------|-----------------------|--------------------------|-------------- |-----------|-----------------------|--------------------------|-------------- |-----------|---3-4-5-3---3-4-5-3---|---3-4-5-3---3-5----------|---3-4-5-3---- |-x\--x\--x\|-5---------5---------5-|-5---------5------3-(5)-5-|-5------------ b2 b2 b1 -------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------|---- -------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------|---- -------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------|---- -------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------9-|---- --3-5----5-(7)-3---|---3-5-(7)-5-3---3-5-------|-----------------------7-|---- 5-----3----------5-|-5-------------5-----3-(5)-|-0-3-4-5-3-0-3-4-5-3-0---|---- b2 b2 --------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------- --------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------- --------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------- --------------------|---5-6-7-5---5-7---7-(9)-5---|--------------------------- ------------5-5-5-7-|-7---------7-----5---------7-|-----------------5-5-5-5--- 0-3-4-5-3-0-5-5-5-7\|-----------------------------|-0-3-5-(7)-5-3-0-5-5-5----- b1 b2 -------------------------------------------|------------------------------|--- -------------------------------------------|------------------------------|--- -------------------------------------------|------------------------------|--- -------------------------------------------|------------------------------|--- --3---3-4-5-3-------3-4-5-3---3-5----------|---3-4-5-3---3-5----5-(7)-3---|--- ----5---------5---5---------5------3-(5)-5-|-5---------5-----3----------5-|--- b1 End RiffA b1 b1 b1 ------------------------------||---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------||---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------||*-2-2-------2-----2-2-------2-----2-2--------- ------------------------------||*-2-2-------2-----2-2-------2-----2-2--------- --3-5-(7)-5-3---3-5-----------||--0-0-------0-x-x-0-0-------0-x-x-0-0--------- 5-------------5-----3-(4)-(5)-||------3-(5)-----------3-(5)-----------3-(5)--- Part1----> b1 b1 rb ---------------||-------------------------------|----------------------------- ------3-3------||-10---10-10-8-10---------------|-12-(13)-12-10---------3-3--- 2-----2-2-0-0-*||-------------------2-2-------2-|---------------12-12---2-2--- 2-----0-0-0-0-*||-------------------2-2-------2-|-----------------------0-0--- 0-x-x-----2-2--||-------------------0-0-------0-|----------------------------- ----------3-3--||-----------------------3-(5)---|----------------------------- b2 b1 b1 rb ----|-------------------------------------|-14-(15)-14p12--------------------- ----|-13-15-15-(17)-13-13-----------------|---------------13--------3-3------- 0-0-|-------------------------2-2-------2-|------------------12-----2-2-0-0--- 0-0-|-------------------------2-2-------2-|-------------------------0-0-0-0--- 2-2-|-------------------------0-0-------0-|-----------------------------2-2--- 3-3-|-----------------------------3-(5)---|-----------------------------3-3--- |----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |----/14-14-12-14-15-14h15p14p12---------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------12/14-------------------------------------- |-4---------------------------------------/16-14h16p14-12-14/16-12-14\-------- |-4-------------------------------------------------------------------14-12--- |-2--------------------------------------------------------------------------- b2 |------------------------------------|---------------------------------------- |/14-14-12-14-15/17-17-15-17-(19)~~~-|---------------------------------------- |------------------------------------|----------------------12---------------- |------------------------------------|-14----------12-14-------12-13-14------- |------------------------------------|----12-13-14-------14------------------- |------------------------------------|---------------------------------------- Play half Riff A and then repeat Part1 with wha.
