joe satriani - always with me always with you Here is the TAB to 'Always with me, Always with you' by Joe Satriani. This is my all time favorite instrumental to listen to and play, and it has taken a long time to get everything exactly like the album, including a lot of time with a half speed deck. I am not sure about the rhythm (which I only notated part of) I think one of the guitars is strung 'nashville style' but I'm not sure.... Also, there are places where Joe uses the bar that I just am not good enough to do in tune so I notated them as slides. There are a lot of little things in this song that are not notated, subtle slides and ghost hammer-ons, etc. But the most important thing is to use distortion and compression and really make the notes sing. Especially on the main theme. And some of the slides are just slides up to the note, so don't be confused if you only hear the second note on some of them... Hope someone can use this! Here is some explantion of the notation. I tried to keep it as simple as possible. h = hammer on a.h = Artificial Harmonic p = pull off s.h = Semi Harmonic / = slide up w/bar = use tremolo bar = slide down t = right hand tap on ^ = bend with size of bend notated above MAIN RHYTHM AND INTRO ----------- Repeat 3 times ------------------------------------------------ ------5----------5-----------4-----------2------
