Chris Carman (cecarman@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu) Okay, after the nearly-seven-minute-long Hummer, the chops deserve a little break, and that's what this tune, Rocket, provides us with. The most interesting and exciting thing about this song is the prominent the of the Boss Octave pedal in combination with the slide/bend guitar. To acheive this effect, you need to turn down the direct level on the Octave pedal, and turn up both the 1 Octave Down and 2 Octave Down knobs. This creates a very thick pseudo-synth guitar sound that make this song what it is. Anyways, here we go: Some little tremolo guitar floats through in the second bar after the intro: ----- --7-- --7-- or something like that, just turn up the tremolo knob on your amp ;) ----- --5-- ----- Bleed in your own light dream of your own life I miss me I miss everything right before the chorus play these two chords (or something similar): ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- --5-5--5-5-5---------------------- --2-2--5-5-5--etc----------------- --0-0--3-3-3---------------------- ---------------------------------- everything... G D F C G D F C and on and on... G D F C G D F C the lead line over the chorus is as follows: ------------------------------------------ -----------------10--------13------10p8--- repeat this ---0--0--0-----11--11----14--14---9----9-- 4x ------------/12-------/15-------10-------- ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ now here's the beginning of that interesting octave pedal work. This part does not use a slide, but make the B string bends very fast. Repeat this entire line 2x with the main riff underneath. with octave pedal ------------------------------------------------------------------5h7-7b8b7-- -6-8-8b10b8--6-8-8b10b8--6-8-8b10b8---6-8-8b10b8--6-8-8b10b8--6h8------------ ------------------------------------4---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now under the 2nd verse, along with the main riff, play this part. Turn the direct volume all the way down and turn Octave & Octave 2 all the way up, and break out the slide. If you don't have an octave pedal or a slide, play the bottom notes in the brackets -- that's the equivalent, only not synth. Another way to play it is to do bends, which is tough, but effective.
