Salamanders In The Sun by Steve Vai from the album 'Flex-able' Transcribed by Keith Railton (http://www.mooworldorder.com/) NOTES: The song's basically in 6/8, although it may be better to think of this as 12/16 as the accents change regularly. Listen out carefully for the 'swing' feel bits in the second part. I've only transcribed the melody - there's lots of 'other things' going on. Someone else can sort them out. I haven't worked out the harmony as the this file is already three weeks late for the ol' home page! Sounds pretty basic... good ear training exercise! P.S. = Picked slide, pick the note that you slide to as well as the one you slide from...
