"Alot to Lose" by Tesla Transcription by: Scott Ettinger ([email protected]) 5/5/95 Stuart, FL USA Verse 1: (and intro) guitar 1 lightly distorted E-|----------0-------------------0------------------0-------------------------| B-|----------0-------------------0------------------0-------------------------| G-|-------6--------6----------4--------4---------2--------2-------------------| D-|----7-------------------6------------------4-------------------------------| A-|-0-----------0-------0-----------0------0-----------0-----0----------------| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|-3-----2-------------------------------------------------------------------| G-|-------------4-/-6----then repeat..----------------------------------------| D-|-3----(3)---(3)------------------------------------------------------------| A-|---(0)---------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm not sure that this is the exact voicing used (although it sure is what I would have used if I had written it) notes in () are not always played. Intro Riff: guitar2: uses some really wet sounding sixties rotating leslie (or digital equivalent perhaps) E-|-17------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|----17---------------------------------------------------------------------| G-|-------(18)u16--14------14--16b(18)~~--------------------------------------| D-|--------------------16-----------------------------------------------------| A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse 1 is played 6 times.

On the 8th time through,the fret traversal at the end is reversed (I think you can figure it out without a transcription :) ) solo 2: killer distortion - he really jams here E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|-17-------17----17---17------------------------17--------------------------| G-|-16-b18---16b18-16---14---16~--------14--16b18----(18)u16-14~--------------| D-|-------------------------------14h16--------------^pick G string again here| A-|--------------------------------------------------while still bent up to 19| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ^really slow controlled bend here ^let G and B strings ring and gives screaming resonance slowly unbend G string E-|-17b19-17~------17---------------------------------------------------------| B-|----------17b19----u17-17~--15p14------------------------------------------| G-|----------------------------------16b18-16~--14h16p14----14----------------| D-|------------------------------------------------------16-------------------| A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|--------------------------17p14p12h14--------------------------------------| B-|-------17------------------------------17p14p12h14-------------------------| G-|-16b18----(18)u16-14~-\-----------------------------16p14------------------| D-|----------------------------------------------------------16-14------------| A-|-----------------------------------------------------------------16\-------| E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ^at this point lots of loud very loud vocals come in and it's very hard to hear, but this has got to be pretty darn close.
