Hi all!
Here's the complete tab to Satch's "Cryin'".
I've been working on this for a real long time now, and I think I've
nailed most of it. There's lots of ghost notes and other subtleties
and I cant hope to tab them all out anyway, but i've done what I could.
I've tried to give some rough sense of the timing but you still need to
listen to the song to get it down.
Send all comments, criticisms, flames, fan mail (;P) to mercuria@usa.net
Cheers!

PLAYING NOTES/ SUGGESTIONS:
This one's really emotional. So make sure you really work those bends
to get the feeling.
Embellish the bends using your own pre-bends, vibrato and harmonics.
One good idea is the delayed vibrato - hold a sustained note for a
while and then vibrate gently - used pretty often.
In addition you can add pinch harmonics or feedback on top of notes
that are sustained for a long time.
You can also fool around with the timing - sustain some notes a bit
longer than neccessary and play the next part a bit faster - this can
give it a cooler vibe. Just remember to stay on beat!
I've included the fills and add-ons he plays when some parts are
repeated. Feel free to leave some out and add others of your own.
You can give the song a touch of your own character by replacing the
faster pentatonic bits with your own licks.
A good idea for improvisation would be to play out the last 16 bars using
your own stuff. It's a E5|Em/D|Esus4/C|E7sus4/B| progression that you can
repeat many times as you want. Great place to apply all those blues licks
that drove your neighbours crazy!

guitar part. I'm not too sure about the names. Pretty much took what the

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 SATRIANI JOE 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.
