Most of it sounds right, but the middle section gets buried in the mix, so its really hard to hear if what im playing is right or not. Ive been working on it and ive got it up to speed, but its very hard to hear whats happening in the song.

do you happen to know if that last tapping super run at the end of 'blue powder' is correcT? There aren't many 6 strings songs (i have a seven string now, 5 yrs after i bought the book so im finally happpy)Īctually bakerman, while youre 'here'. I think Sisters was on a Jem for sure, he said that in an interview. He actually used a Universe for most of the record so the "6 string" songs aren't really all played on a 6, they just don't use the low B. Blue Powder is also a 6, and the Animal is too (he uses a sub-5th harmonizer on a 6 string to make the lower notes that sound like 7-string range). The songs you listed only use 6 strings except FTLOG, which has about 3 notes on the low B that you can simulate with a little whammy bar drop if you want, and which Vai changes up and stays an octave higher live. Overall it's a good book if you like having something to read along to and don't take it 100% for granted, note for note.
