"Vasoline" by Stone Temple Pilots
First, there's a fade-in with feedback (1) which is soon doubled by a guitar
doing hammer-ons from A to Bb (2) and another guitar does upstrokes on
a really weird chord (see "bridge" section WAY below) then there's a little
descending thing (3) right before you go into the main riff...

TAB: "Vasoline" by STP (solo)
Okay, I've gotten enough "nice" requests for the solo to this song ever
since I posted the tab a couple of weeks ago. Honestly though, I think
that anyone with a little lead knowledge could come up with a better solo.
In my opinion, this is not the best lead work I've ever seen (like much of
DeLeo's lead stuff). DeLeo is a good riffster but not much of a solo-er.
But here it is, as best as I could make it out (it's basically in G):
||-8p7-----8p7-----8p7---|---8p7-----8p7-----8p7-|-----8p7-----8p7-----|
||-----6-6-----6-6-----6-|-6-----6-6-----6-6-----|-6-6-----6-6-----6-6-|

------------0-5p0-0-----|-------------0-5/9\5-|| b&harm= create an
--------------------2-2-|---------------------|| artificial harmonic
------------------------|---------------------|| and bend it full
~~~= vibrato
Oh yeah, and someone sent me a suggestion that makes quite a bit of sense.
Instead of playing that fucked up chord that I had in my original tab
(during the intro and bridge) try this:
E---0---
B---3---
G---3---
D---3---
A---0---
E-------
Whoever it was said it sounds pretty much the same. (Thanks to whoever you
are.) At any rate, it's MUCH easier to play.
