Omega solos
Song: Omega
Author@Album: Bruce Dickinson @ Accident of birth
Tab by: Francesco Spina
Legenda:
fb : full bend
rb,br: release bend
L : legato (hammer on and pull off)
~ : hold, vibrato
/\ : slides
X : undefined sound (scratch or similar)
* : see the end of solo for explanations
Note: ok, that's it. I tabbed ONLY the LEAD guitar and not the second
that you can hear in some parts of the solo... just a solo must
be "solo" (="alone" in Italian), so why that double sounds?

Notes:
*1 : this is a X sound, I guessed the notes
*2 : same as *1
*3 : I put 7,7 because I like more a blues sound; surely it could be
7fb(4)8(5) (like Branislav Glusac told me in a "old" e-mail) that
is more "classic".
*4 : I really didn't count the times this figure is repeated; just
repeat it "enaugh" times...
*5 : I put the fingering to help you; just from 14 to 16 slide the
first finger and then hold the 3rd on 19.
*6 : there is a "doubling octave" sound here ("raddoppio d'ottava" we
say in Italy) due to the distortion. You can find a similar sound
in the low notes in Man of sorrows solo.
*7 : this ascending scale can be done in a lot of ways; I put here the
more classic (classic 2nd position), that is NOT the easiest...
This work is dedicated to Federica. Ti amo.
