Steve Perry can sing man...all you haters out there
better recognize.
Ok, this song is all piano until about 0:32 when the
guitar enters with a harmonic at about the
24th fret on the b string, open string. Right above the first
single-coil on my guitar. Then at :048 another
harmonic is heard at the 24th fret on the high e
string. Then roughly halfway through the intro-solo
another harmonic is heard 24th fret on the b string.
So while one guy is soloing the other plays the
harmonic during the solo.
p is palm muted
Not sure about the solo because I don't have 24 frets.
During the solo 3 guitars are playing. G2 plays the final
pattern and the previous variation. G1 plays the same 2
patterns from before. G3 solo's, and I guess G4 plays
those two notes at the end of the solo. If you have 24 frets
just let the 19 ring and play the 23 and 24. This is by no means
100% correct but it's worthy.

Fade Out...
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 JOURNEY 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.
