+ Info...
Gillan is a rock band closely associated with but not directly arising from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, formed in 1978 by Ian Gillan. In 1978 Ian Gillan had become dissatisfied with the jazz fusion style of his band called Ian Gillan Band and dissolved it, retaining only keyboard player Colin Towns, and formed a new band entitled Gillan. He added Steve Byrd on guitar, Liam Glenocky on drums and John McCoy on bass, and initially pursued a progressive rock direction, releasing their eponymous debut in 1978, although they could only get a record deal in Japan.

E|-------------------------7--|
e|---------------------7-------| This is the hardest part of the
B|---------------------10-(12)-| chorus, switching from octaves to
G|-11--9-11--12--11-9----------| a unison bend. Bend up slowly until
D|-x---x-x---x---x--x----------| the two pitches of note match up
A|-9---7-9---10--9--7----------|

Key:
h = hammer-on
x = string dampening
pm = palm mute
(n) = bend to fret number (n)
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
This is a fairly challenging and fairly fast song, so it will require a lot
of practice to get it right. Thanks for looking and enjoy.
