Everyday Combat Solo


Tabbed by Baumli Okay, this is my first tab, so it will be sketchy, but im pretty sure this is right, or is how i play it anyway. If you have the song, listen to it on WMP and slow down the speed so you can hear every note in the solo to decide for yourself if it's right. \ = slide down the neck / = slide up the neck h = hammer on p = pull-off [14h16p14](x4) = do the bracketed lick 4 times (Drop D tuning) (Very fast) when playing the intro up, strum the first few notes as fast as you can E|-------------------------------------------12----------------------------| B|-------------------------------12----12-14-------------------------------| G|-------------13----13-14-13-14----14-------------------------------------| D|----16-14-16----16-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| at the end of this first phrase, your first finger should be barring the twelvth frets strings 1 and 2 so that you can play the next phrase easier, it also makes playing the phrase easier... Play this part Van-halen Style, with one hand, all hammer-ons and pull-offs at lightning with no pick involved until the end of the phrase, you might still pick the very first though... this is extremely fast and your 1st finger should be barring the 12th fret for 1 and 2, and Lee Gaze is known for doing this kindof of stuff often in solos to play the 14s, hammer on with 2nd finger, and pull off, 16s with 3rd finger. It is suggested you pick the last 4 notes in the final set...

This next part is easy, slide back up the neck and pick every note, maybe even put a on some of them...

E|-12-11-9-11-14-12-11-12-[16-14-12-14](x3)-16/21!!!\----| B|-------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------| well its far from perfect, and im an amatuer tabber, but it should still give alot of a good general idea of the song, wow ive spent 2.5 hours tabbing this lol. Yet agian not on the really high freted note, if i had my strat id be able to tell you for sure its but Eddie's nooby acoustic doesnt go that high, for stratocaster and telecaster players the highest note you can play... i hope you enjoy it...
