_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Hey, it's Jeff Bates from Rockstar.com and this week's lesson is about a few Steve Vai licks.
Just a couple that I find interesting and I hope you do too. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ [B] _ _ Okay, the important thing is to pay attention to the finger I'm sliding with.
That's the [A] 13th fret.
I'm using [Ab] the pinky. _
[Bb] _ I'm sliding back to the 17th fret.
[E] _
That helps you _ be in [Gb] position for the next part [D] of the lick.
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dbm] _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ [E] So I break it up.
_ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[Ab] _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[D] _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ Okay, all I'm doing is a descending [A] A scale and _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [D] _ _ _
then ending on the D.
[A] _ And I'm only picking
the first note of each string. _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [E] _ [Db] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _
_ _ [F] _ Okay, now that goes. _
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[A] _ _ [B] All _ _ [A] we're doing is doubling up every note.
_ [E] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now the Lydian version that I was talking about [A] _ is, _ [Eb] _
I was going to play the augmented
fourth instead of [B] doubling [A] on the fifth.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Eb] _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Em] Okay. _

_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Okay, [F] _ _ [E] _
for this lick you need to know this [A] arpeggio.
[G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ And then you're just going to move that [A] around.
_ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ And then you just play it [Dm] here again.
