 Subject: TAB: Viv Woman/Steve Vai
 After the overwhelming response (uhmmm, just 4 but that's enough!), here is
 what I figured out of Viv Woman, out of the Steve Vai Flex-able. I tried what I
 could, but not having a W/B I'm afraid I could not get it all correctly
 (especially the solo). Any feedback (suggestions, errors, appreciation, flames)
 is highly welcome!

 Some notes for the technically oriented:
 
 On the intro I think Steve plays bended F# and not G# as I show.
 I also suspect he is bending (ouch) the G# to the B at the intro end, instead
 of my suggested A# to B bend. They both sound good, so pick your choice.
 On the solo I show with the * notes which are repeatedly bended and
 pinched. I'm afraid a correct transcription is impossible here, so just listen
 to the CD.
 I did not figure out the trumpets parts, but they should be easy enough.
 I'm planning soon to put together a drum/bass/trumpets base
 on my sequencer, so I will have to work them out as well. Drop me a note
 in a couple of weeks to check if I were not lazy enough to don't it..
 
 I play the guitar thru my Boss SE-70, pre-eq to cut a bit bass and middle and
 boost high, overdrive with low gain, eq. to boost even more the distorted high,
 stack simulator, room reverb with a bit of delay L/R to give some spaciousness.
 If you have a Boss SE-70 start with the presetted 70' Rock patch and trim it
 to your taste.
 
 Have Fun!
