Devil's Slide- Joe Satriani
Tabbed by Sam Phoenix
I just know the really hard bit that everone wants to learn. Remember to keep it hard, fast and chunky. Go easy, this only my 3rd. Tab, & I'm not sure if it's perfect. I got this off Live in San Francisco, not Engines of Creation, and as such, my version may be screwed. I may add more to this as I figure out more. Each bar marking is not a bar, but one 'Slide' as I call them. It's easy if you're fast enough, as the pattern remains the same. The important thing is to alternate between up and down strokes.

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.
