Devil's Door - by Joe Lynn Turner
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Andy (yalaki)
Quite an energetic song this - high tempo with some cool riffs to play. It is
from Joe's 2005 "The Usual Suspects" album. A word of WARNING: in many places
in this song (particularly the verses) there are repeated D# phrases on the 6th
string. You may be tempted to strike these all with downstrokes. If you do this
then you are increasing your risk of being effected by RB . Do not overplay these
parts. Take regular rests, especially if you are beginning to feel sore in your
right wrist.
As with the other JLT songs I have tabbed I have only included Al Pitrelli's
rhythm guitar part.
Good luck!
Tuning: D#

**In the above line, where you see "0-2-3-5" listen to the CD - you may decided
to play this bit slightly differently. Maybe something like (palm muted):
"...-0-0-0-0-2-2-0-0-3-3-0-0-5-5-5-5-..."
This applies to each repeat of the chorus.**
