Myung tap-fest in Metropolis Pt. 1

Yes, the technique is not the issue, as I have seen him play it live, and it is also demonstrated fairly clearly on the Live at Budokan DVD. What I'm just looking for is the tab, to make sure I am playing it correctly. (it sounds like I'm missing a note somewhere.)
 
No I understand what you meant:), I'm just saying, on the video you can see exactly what he plays, as he goes through it note for note real slow so you can follow him.

Edit: On another note, if you are a Dream Theater fan you better pick up their new dvd on tuesday:P haha
 
This comes from his instructional tape.

Rhythm: all 16th notes, except for the 32nd notes on the 'and' of beats 2 and 4. The counting is below the TAB.

It should be pretty clear which notes are hammered and which notes are tapped

C---------------------------------------------------------|
G-----------11--------------------------11---------------|
D-----4------------4--9-9---------4------------4--9-9----|
A--------9------9----------9---------9------9----------9--|
E--2---------------------------2---------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------|
....1.......&.........2.......&..........3.......&........4.......&.........

Ugh. TAB sucks.

This is the pattern, which doesn't change. Play it twice as TABed in F#, twice in G (up one fret), once in A (up another 2 frets), and once in B (up another 2 frets). Finish with an F# on the B string, 7th fret. If you don't have a B string, you can shift up to the 2nd fret, E string on the 'and' of beat 4 in the penultimate measure.


Hope that helps.

P.S.
You need not love me long time.
