Bad Horsie
by Steve Vai
The main riff, then!
(This picks up after the intro, Drums and Bass, horse, etc.)
To do this right, you need to tune to C,G,C,F,A,D (Low to high). That's
a dropped - D tuning down a whole step! I suggest you use heavy strings!
I read somewhere that he plays the riff with a slide, but if you play
rhythmically precisely with ya finger, it seems to work!
The exclamation marks indicate bars. The x's indicate muted strumming.

That's the main riff. I may as well post the part of the solo I've
figured out. I'd be gratefull if anyone posts corrections\ the full
version, etc.
The bit I've worked out is where the tapping bit starts.(9th bar?!)
