First of all i would like to say that this is a fucking A solo, the best on the disc by my opinion
followed by home solo of course.
anyway, this solo was harder to tab than to figure out, im 100% sure i have mistakes, and on some parts
i just wrote simliar in scale lines, but most of it is correct, and it will give you all you need to
preform this solo, now i will write comments throughout the tab that will TRY to explain you what to do
and i got some signs that you probably didn't see before, so here is the legend:
* = pinched note
hb = hold bend
rb = release bend
/ = slide to note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
# = stirke this note alot of times real fast!
v = vibrate

  full                    half   half                        half

ok, here what you need to do is bend the note hold it, then pinch it, then release
it while pulling of to the next note.

Well about that scale running after the small D arrpeg im not sure at all, its
something similar, if you figure it out let me know.

in this part petrucci shows some of his good hammering technique, this is a fast
run wih similar technique as in metropolis 1, only this one is shorter and faster
