Steve Vai - Answers Chords & Tabs

                            
                    

This is not the whole song, but the biggest part of it. The firts rythm thing
is played several times before the main guitar-thing comes in.
There are also some chords and stuff played along the rythm-thing,
but that was too much work to transcribe. And yes, I know
that there are some parts that aren't correct, but this is just
to give you an idea of how it's played.

Have fun!

The last part of the song is basicly a variation of this last bar, but played
at different positions of the neck.
