In The Presence Of Enemies Part 2 Solo
Dream Theater
Text File
Artist: Dream Theater
Guitar: Petrucci
Tuning: 6 String E
Tabbed By RidouxIBZ. Assisted by Audacity.
Ok... This solo is very very fast and has alot of pentatonic speed picking and sweep
so it's quite difficult. Lots of practice for this one ;)
The excess of hammer and pull-offs is my way of playing this solo, so you can pick every
but I find it sounds roughly the same to Petrucci's version.
PETRUCCI IS GOD!
