"Cool #9" - Joe Satriani from the album - "Joe Satriani Tabbed by: John Burrows E-mail address: John.Burrows@btinternet.com Well, before I start, I'd just like to say that Joe is one of my favourite guitarists, and I'm gonna start trying to tab all of the songs from "Joe Satriani" the album , because I think it's his best one. I know that some people disagree with me on that, but I like this kind of bluesy stuff. I think that I've tabbed this song accurately, but if anybody notices anything that doesn't sound quite right, feel free to E-mail me and I'd be glad to correct it. Put this tab into a self-aligning font ( I use Courier , text size 8pt ) for the best effect. Please E-mail me with corrections, constructive criticism, thankyou's etc. If I get just one positive bit of feedback I'll be happy, and I'll quite happily try some of the other songs from this album. Give me a mail and let me know which ones you'd like me to post the most :) Personally I think that (You're) My World kicks arse!!. If anyone wants to talk about Satch, then drop me an E-mail. I use my Internet Cafe about once every two weeks, so I'll E-Mail you back when I can. Oh yeah, ( I know I talk too much :) but this is a big plea!!!! Does anybody know Joe's address. I'd love to know how to get in touch with him ( apart from the comments page on his site ). An E-mail address would do if nobody knows where he lives. This is the rhythm guitar which goes on through most of the song |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | ||---------------------------------------------|---------------------||--------- ||---------------------------------------------|---------------------||--------- ||*--2-----2--2-----2--2--2--2--2-----2--2--2--|--2-----2--2--2--2--*||--------- ||*--1-----1--1-----1--1--1--1--1-----1--1--1--|--1-----1--1--1--1--*||--------- ||---------------------------------------------|---------------------||--------- ||---------------------------------------------|---------------------||--------- And now we've got the lead : In the song , depressing the whammy pedal causes notes to sound an octave higher than written. Whammy Pedal indications: + = pedal depressed ( Notes sound an octave higher than written ) o = pedal released ( Notes sound as written ) P.M P.M------|
