Enter Sandman solo

[steve]

I've been looking at the enter sandman solo and it looks like it's derived from a Blues scale, could someone back me up???

e
b
g 9 7
d 9 7 7 9 7
a 9 9 8 7
E 10 7

but there's this lick too.....

e
b
g 14 12
d 14 14 12
a 14 14 12 10
E 12


I'm hoping to do my own soloing to this song. So I'd like to know what the solo is from.

I am not sure what part of the song you are getting that particular tab from, but the scale that you could use to solo is E minor pentatonic or E blues.

Your first line is a B blues....so that is why I was not sure where that part was.

Your second line is E minor pentatonic.

well the first part is at the end, the 2nd one is in the middle. The rest of the solo is mostly just sliding up the neck of the guitar and some full step bends.
