Can anyone post for me the "check mated-hours of fun" part in Vertigo with the solo? I'm trying to compile a really excellent chord-tablature for it. And I'll try and post it soon. :wink:
 
The solo is basically the following chord fragments:

(xxx14x12), (xxx13x12), (xxx2x0), and (xxx2x2).

You can figure it out easy enough from there.
 
E-----12----12----12----12-------------
B-----10-----9------9-----9--------------
G---------------------9----11-------------

...is what I play, and the chords before it are G,D,A.
 
the one just above works good

but I play it like this

chords (checkmated) G-D-A

But the "solo" I use is:

E-0--0--0--0--0---
B-10-9--7--9--10-
D-9--9--9--9--9---

you can play the A on the G string too, (7th fret) throughout, if you want a fuller sound, I guess

whatever, just tossing in my two cents.

yeah, that's the way I used to play it but you can hear the e on the 12th fret.
