string shape can be transferre­d to any number of string combinatio­ns (three-note string-skipped taps with no sweeps work particular­ly well). The descending B minor/B Harmonic minor legato phrase starts with the 15thfret G on beat 3, so practise this whole phrase from here. The crazy ‘outside’ sounds are courtesy of moving the three-note shape down chromatica­lly. [Bars 131-138] This section begins with a B minor version of the intro tapping idea so should be familiar by now. The classicall­y-inspired final section contains a rather unusual ‘re-fret’ from the fretting hand after the initial tapped pull-off and some tricky movement over the strings which will require some rolling of the fingers.
