^^^^^^^^^^^^^
. : staccato (cut short--first Em chord)
* : slight bend [my own "add"?--as may be "2->4" slide in 1st measure]
% : eighth-note rest
r : "return" of bend
====: hold tone thru count (legato arpeggio)
^^^^: occasional variations at this point (see--uh, hear--recording)
________
LEAD . . . woulda taken me days--but it's a good song for improv., great
for practicing the DORIAN mode, in fact (scale: e-f#-g-a-b-c#-d-e;
actually a D major scale starting on the 2nd step [Em = ii in D]).
One characteristic "sound" of the Dorian can be achieved by
playing the *notes* of the D major chord (d-f#-a) over the Em chord
_per_se_. For instance, try playing f#-d-f#-d-f#-d(-e) over the 1st
measure (Em)--a common pattern-formula found in lots of famous leads
(e.g., "Oye Como Va").
