Devil's Door - by Joe Lynn Turner
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Andy (yalaki)
Email: yalaki@hotmail.com
Quite an energetic song this - high tempo with some cool riffs to play. It is
from Joe's 2005 "The Usual Suspects" album. A word of WARNING: in many places
in this song (particularly the verses) there are repeated D# phrases on the 6th
string. You may be tempted to strike these all with downstrokes. If you do this
then you are increasing your risk of being effected by RSI. Do not overplay these
parts. Take regular rests, especially if you are beginning to feel sore in your
right wrist.
As with the other JLT songs I have tabbed I have only included Al Pitrelli's
rhythm guitar part.
Good luck!
Tuning: D#

**In the above line, where you see "0-2-3-5" listen to the CD - you may decided
to play this bit slightly differently. Maybe something like (palm muted):
"...-0-0-0-0-2-2-0-0-3-3-0-0-5-5-5-5-..."
This applies to each repeat of the chorus.**
