JOE SATRIANI - "Ice" Tablature

Song: Ice 9

Artist: Joe Satriani

Album: Surfing With The Alien

Tabbed by: Liam Doorley

I got really bored so i thought i'd tab this song...
before you play this you need a wammey bar and a wah wah pedal. If you don't, well
i'd say you're sol cuz you won't be able to even touch this stuff. And make sure you
have a recording or else this will make no sense.

Key: / - slide b - bend r - release h - hammer on p - pull off
t - finger tap

Standard tuning e a d g b e

rythym guitar intro (w/ distortion) Play 4x

hmm...then joe does some crazy wammey stuff, i find it works
if you just pick an open g and push down on the bar, and then slide
to some other notes while still using the wammey.

Then repeat Rhy. Fig 1 2x

Rhy. Fig 2 2x

Rhy. Fig 3...but let the rythym guy do that so you can have fun doing this...
