GREEN-TINTED SIXTIES MIND      ( Mr. Big )
=========================

Thanks to PANFI (my friend Federico, from
Cadidavid-VERONA) for the CDs.
The tab was in the archive, I added the complete lyric
and the chords.
Enjoy!


The introduction to this song is very tricky, the
first impression you get
is that it's some kind of backward tape recording but
no!!!, It's just 
Paul's guitar with distortion and some kind of octave
or harmonizer effect 
(sounding one octave lower or higher) to achieve his
unique soloing 
TONE!! Anyways, Paul uses mostly a
pick/hammer/sliding/tapping technique
in which the use of both hands is probably the right
choice to play the         
        
introduction. It's a very cool song, it should really
impress anyone if 
it's performed live.

This should be ok for the first part of the song, if
someone wants to post
the rest it's fine, e mail me at:
oandrade@impsat.net.ec


b=bend          
r=release          
tr=trill            
*=mute strings
( )= let ring previous note
[ ]= harmonic note(probably played on the 12th fret)
t= tap (with right hand index finger)

p= pick (either with right hand fingers or left hand
ring finger,               
                                                      
  whichever is easier 4 U)


h=hammer on (done with left hand fingers)
po= pull off (done with left hand fingers)

s/=slide up. Example: 12t-s/-16 (tap 12 first, then
slide up untill fret 16)
s=slide down. Example: 16-s-12( slide down from fret
16 to fret 12)
~=vibrato
|=end of bar
%=repeat last bar

Note from Sócrates: I made a few corrections on the
Intro/Outro section, I think that it sounds better so.
The rest of the song be so well.
  When I get the solo I'll post it.

Video Green Tinted Sixties Mind

Mr. Big - Green-Tinted Sixties Mind (Live) - Kotzen version
In case you didn't know, Mr. Big had two different guitar players in their roster; first was super-shredder Paul Gilbert (formerly of Racer X). Paul left Mr. big in 1999 and was later on replaced by former Poison axeman, Richie Kotzen. Both guitarists are monster players, but their techniques are very different from each other. Guitar geeks, notice how Richie plays the intro to Mr. Big's classic, GREEN-TINTED SIXTIES MIND. Taken from a Japan TV performance......
