Here's a way of playing the solo of Invincible. These are the same notes as those played
Matthew Bellamy, but not the same tab. Still, it is much easier to play it this way...
my video demo : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4aa7h_invincible-solo-muse-cover_music
So, here's how to read it :
-> H means hammer on with the middle finger of your right hand
-> h means hammer on with the index finger of your right hand
-> p means pull off (so, actually release the right hand holding the fret with your left
the note will sound)
As you need two fingers of your right hands, I recommand to put your plectrum in your mouth.
The rythm is tabed precisely - see below. However, if you prefer to just to listen to
song instead of doing maths, it basically goes like this :
H-notes = melody (hit precisely on the beat)
h&p notes = twinkle (just do it as fast as you can, and this should work)
How to read rythm indications (if you don't care, just skip the paragraph)
the additional line above the tab indicates the rythm of the solo.
-> Each vertical line (|) or digit (1234) represents a 16th note, so notes of the
are 32th notes.
-> Each digits 1,2,3,4 tell you on what beat of the bar you are (1st,2nd,3rd or 4th
note, if you prefer...) So, yes, a bar (here : four quarter notes) does last for two
lines, and yes, it goes really fast...
So, here it goes :

And then quickly pick back your plectrum from your mouth while you bend the e string
10 to 12.
Scratch, make some weird noise with all effects you have at disposal, show off as much
you like, now you've just gone through this legendary solo... =)
Have fun playing !
