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 100Û¿¿Û¿¿-Û¿¿HÛ¿¿gÛ¿¿Û¿¿èÛ¿¿ Ü¿¿>Ü¿¿XÜ¿¿jÜ¿¿‘Ü¿¿­Ü¿¿ÐÜ¿¿ìÜ¿¿ûÜ¿¿OÝ¿¿sÝ¿¿‘Ý¿¿«Ý¿¿ÄÝ¿¿×Ý¿¿åÝ¿¿+Þ¿¿FÞ¿¿|Þ¿¿ure 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: full half half half

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
