Rescue me or bury me

• D

 
Okay, the majority of Vai requests have been for this song.  Although I 
must disagree with those who think that this and "Touching Tongues" are the 
best songs on the album; what about "Sex & Religion" or "Survive"?  Those 
songs kick ass! 
I didn't tab "Touching Tongues" because the rhythm track requires a 7- 
string guitar, and the lead requires delay and a WHAMMY pedal.  I don't 
think the average guitarist has those things handy. :) 
Anyway, all you need for this song is an acoustic guitar, an eletric 
guitar, and a hell of a lot of patience!  Some of the chords are a pain in 
the ass (or should I say fingers?). 
Some notes on the way I do ascii tab:  "p" - pull-off 
                                       "h" - hammer-on 
                  "v"s in front of a chord - upstroke 
                                      "nh" - natural harmonic

It gets really orchestrated and complex after this. 
If all you really wanted was the intro, there it is.  If you want more, 
ask me nicely.
