 Hocus Pocus 
 by Gary Hoey 
 on the album Animal Instinct 
 Tab by Sean Kasun (seank@u.arizona.edu) 
  
 This is probably Gary's most well known cover.  I watched him play it 
 live at the Hard Rock in Phoenix last Jan. (remember me Gary? I was 
 the guy who had you sign every one of your albums) 
  
 I believe the intro goes like this: 
  
 |------------------| 
 |------------------| 
 |------------------| 
 |------------------| 
 |-4-----4-----4----| 
 |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----| 
  
 He then does some other overdriven stuff, before he gets to the 
 lead in: 
  
 |-15H17-17-17-17--17-17-15H17-17-17-17-------------------------| 
 |-15H17-17-17-17--17-17-15H17-17-17-17-------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
  
 Then he gets to the main riff: 
  
 |-12----12~-10----10~-8----8~-7---7~-5---5~-3---3~-------------| 
 |----13--------12-------10------8------6------5----0-4-5~------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
  
 There's another version of this riff which he does later: 
 (Tremelo pick this) 
  
 |-12-12-12-12-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-5-5-5-5------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
  
 |-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--------------| 
 |-------------------------------------------------0-0-0-0-4-5--| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
  
 And right after that he does an insane version, which I can't figure 
 out.. I think it starts like: 
  
 |-12------12------10-------------------------------------------| 
 |----10-8----10-8----8-7--and so on----------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
 |--------------------------------------------------------------| 
  
 He likes to use wah in this song, so make it funkay ;)
