2252.1Extreme...ly good!BSS::SGOHSLERFri Jun 28 1991 18:377
    You might try pulling them right off of the video by taping
    it and doing the old play-rev-pause routine.
    
    Scotty -who thinks these guys have probably played together
            since shortly after they each left the womb!
    
    What does the rest of their material sound like?
2252.2KDX200::COOPEROpinionated MIDI Rack PukeFri Jun 28 1991 21:3212
The rest of the material is bubblegum/glam/pop-rock/metal.
They throw the ballads in there to swoon the little girls.

They are quite good though.  To read all about them,
add LANDO::HEAVY_METAL to you note book or hit KP7 (or SELECT).

I forgot the note number but a dir/title=EXTREME will quickly 
reward you with the number.

Extreme is from Boston and is currently touring with DLR.

    The whole song is tuned down a half-step, but the chords (for
    normal tuning) go something like this: (correct me if I'm wrong, guys!)

    It kinda repeats after that. The end I can't really remember off the
    top of my head, but I remember the last little appreggio thing he does
    at the end:

    I hope my tab writing has helped more than confused! If I messed some
    part (and I know I did!), just don't play how I wrote it! :^) Maybe 
    someone else knows the tapping part he does.

2252.4No habla tablatureTROA02::CONNOLLYFri Jul 05 1991 16:1311
    Somewhere at home I have the actual chord changes written (i.e. C#m
    etc., as opposed to tablature). It's tougher to get the passing notes
    he puts in, and the basslines, than it is to figure out the chords!
    (I think there's less than 10 different chords in the damn thing.)
    
    And I thought (from the video) that he was playing in Eb tuning; thanks
    for clarifying that point (it has to be in Eb to get the basslines he
    is playing along with the comping).

2252.5what's the score?SKYLYT::JNELSONJon D. Nelson | 291-8614 | DLB12-2/D4Tue Jul 09 1991 13:122
I think I have a full score (sounds silly, given only 1 instrument) in a back
issue of GP, send mail if you want a copy & I'll dig it up.  -jn-

    I walked into a non-descript music store in Hudson and I had a nice
    conversation with Nuno's father. The old gentlemen has been a musician
    all his life, and seems to have traveled all over the world. 
    Without a doubt I think his son's success is due to his father,
    period.
