I've got a couple of Dream Theater tabs.... What ones do you have?
Here's the Ytse Jam:
From: William T Bajzek <impaler+@CMU.EDU>
Here's everything but harmonies and solos before the drum solo. I'll try
to pseodo-time it, but you have to listen to the recording to get it
right. John plays the first half of the melody on the third string but I
prefer the second. I didn't tab the harmonies.
p = pinch harmonic
bar = trem bar
tp = tremolo pick
m = palm mute
/ = hammer
\ = slide

Solo: Requires a single slap-back delay of ~200-300 ms. My timing isn't
good enough to get it sounding right, or indeed work out exactly
what is being played. What's below is a rough idea of what I think
is going on. To confuse matters even further it sounds as though
there are regular pull-offs onto the open G. Knowing what John
Petrucci is capable of, he probably didn't even use a delay !

Good luck :)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official DREAM THEATER tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
