Ozzy Osbourne - I Don't Want To Change The World Tab

On this pinch harmonic at the 3 fret on the 5th string,
bend the string up one full step, then bring it back down
and preform a vibrato, still holding the pinch harmonic.
(Last note on this staff) (pinch place is right in front

of the middle pickup, if you have a stratocaster pickup

layout guitar)

This is a genius guitar lick that was origanally used by EVH, it's a bit tricky to learn, but with practice, i know for sure you can get it :D. What you do is pull off ALL OF THESE NOTES, and take your Right hand palm and very gently touch the strings by the

Bridge, and slowly move your RH palm down the strings, towards

the direction of the neck. You will hear alot of harmonics all over the place which makes a very cool sound effect, with practice and right timing, you can get it just like it is on the CD.

for this part Zakk plays it an octave down live, because its not as hard. But on the recording he uses this so depending on what version you are trying to learn i have added both.
