Dream Theater "Six Degrees.." - The Glass Prison

I have tried to tab some parts of this awesome album
upon my year and a half of guitar playing (erm... studying!).
I'm not sure of anything, but I think it gives such a good idea
of what is played and how.
Just send comments/corrections to wulfie3d@planetunreal.com

Tab notation:

p   = pull-off             x   = dead note (left hand)
h   = hammer-on            *   = palm mute (right hand)
t   = tap-on               X\  = pick slide
~   = vibrato              hm  = harmonic
/   = slide up             ah  = artificial harmonic
\   = slide down           ( ) = ghost note/bend note
^   = bend                 tr  = trill
^r  = bend and release     tm  = trem picking

I play the next part on the low E, using the open string, and frets 2 and 5.
I mute everything, and use alternate-picking. I'll tab the part if needed.
On that part, John plays a sweeping shape in alternate picking and sweeping,
didn't figure it out yet!!
At about 5:53/5:54 there's a heavy riff played,
I think on the open low-B string, just test...


       (around 6:30) check the song for the rythm!!
