Shot In The Dark Chords & Tabs
O.K. the other tabs on here have parts of the song right but heres how i play it.
This sounds correct to me, but its hard to tell cuz the guitar wasn't mixed well
on Ultimate Sin. The timing isnt exact but i feel like this is a good tab other
then that
LEGEND:
h= Hammer on
p= Pull off
[ ]= Artificial/pinch harmonic
B= Full bend
b= Half bend
Tr= Tremolo picking
/= slide up
r= release bend
PM= palm muting
*= natural harmonic
~= Vibrato
BB= full bend then release a little then bend bend back to full bend
( )= optional note,play it if you want
Intro:
ok for the first part of the intro you're hitting natural harmonics and bending them.
bend them by pressing down on the string on the headstock, or if you have a floating
just use the bar to bend up.
DISTORTED

k so after the solo you play a prechorus then the chorus then u do the intro
again with different fills in between it, the fills are all round like 3rd 5th
or 7th fret with fast hammer ons n pull offs n pinch harmonics so you can have
fun make your own fills :-)
alright peace,
