One suggestion. Use a single staff and point the stems in opposite directions to indicate left and right hand.

Thank you for your comments, guys. I'll post the notation tonight. And your suggestion is right, jzucker. I just decided to do it that way for making the tablature staves clearer. Thank you again!

Thank you very much Alvaro, it's good to hear from you again.

The excercises were quite excellent, not that I expected any less from you. I still have your original instructions you gave me saved on my computer ^_^.

And please please please please, I want to see the notation for the transposed version of Van Halen's - Cathedral.

Take it easy my man! Thank you!

Hey man, I'm so glad to see you here!

I've been quite busy and haven't took the time to transcribe the lessons as I promised, but fortunately I have the next full week off since it's the Holy Week, so the material will be available soon. I appreciate your patience. Thank you for your message!

OK, here are the transcriptions:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

Part 4:

As I said in the video, don't play this without getting the scales up and down with each hand separately first.

For part 5, see post #1.

Part 6:

Well, for "Cathedral" I must make several things clear:

- I'm frankly unsure about the right way of notating this piece, so my transcription just shows my guess about it. Anyway, right or not, I think it's perfectly valid.

- The transcription doesn't reflect what you'll hear. Just what you have to play. There are two extra key components in this song: A one-repeat delay set to 400 ms and swelling your bass' volume knob with your right hand for each eighth note after the intro (when the main theme enters). The right hand part is the tune's most demanding one (at least for me).

- The strumming marks I put for each chord in the intro don't mean you must strum them. In this case, this means that you must tap each note slightly after the previous one (from lowest to highest).

Any questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome. Have fun!
